Today I went to the hosptial and was SO RELIEVED to find that my VT was his nurse again! They were doing rounds when I got there. I don't think I've ever been in a teaching hosptial before, where residents report and say things like "The patient presented with difficulty swallowing.." I did feel like I was on a medical sitcom for a minute. After talking to the Becky, the nurse, she explained that UMC only recieved one of the two swallow studies, and that the general radiologist read the film, because the pediatric radiologist is out of town until Monday. So on Monday, hopefully the pediatric radiologist will take a look at it, and in the meantime we can get ahold of the first swallow study and the MRI results from St. Joesph's. (I think I would of been a lot less stressed if the resident had explained that a little better.) Of course when I look across the room and see the little baby that has already been there for 3 months, it puts everything into perspective. Carter was also put into a big boy crib, instead of one of the little plastic cribs. He even has a little view from his window.
Here he is just chilling.
So we are waiting until Monday, and at that point hopefully everyone will come together and we will have a plan.
I came home around 12:30ish and put the kiddos down for a nap, while Karl headed up to the hosptial. Then once Kyra and Kyle woke up I took them to hospital to see baby brother! They were able to see him through the NICU window. They were so excited! The shift change doesn't happen until 8 PM, so Becky was still on when I brought the kids over. Kyra saw her through the window, then looked at me, and then looked at her, and then all of a sudden it dawned on her that Carters nurse was the music leader in Primary. She was pretty excited about that as well. Then we went out to eat with some friends and then headed to a U of A gymnastics meet. The kids were really well behaved, U of A won, and dinner was yummy. It was so nice to just take a break from everything, get out of the house, and have fun with some friends :)

Sara,
I keep on checking to see how Carter is doing. I know only to well how hard it is to blog when you have so much on your mind...but thanks for keeping us up to date! I think about you and always have a prayer in my heart for Carter! Love ya!
I am glad he got to move to a big boy bed and that you were able to get out of the house ofr awhile. Sending lots of hugs and prayers and hoping good things happen on Monday.
I am glad that it was a better day. Carter looks so cute in his big boy crib. Our prayers will continue to be with you and Carter and hopefully Monday will bring some much needed relief and answers. I am glad that you were able to go have some fun with the kids and friends, you need that right now, for sure :)
Glad it was better and that Becky has been there to give some comfort. Perhaps it gives Kyra a little bit of comfort as well.
