Carter's Adventures at PCMC

Just before christmas Carter decided to liven up life around here by developing seizures.  They started out short and separated by longer intervals, however that got too predictable for out little guy so he has decided to have many different types of seizures at many different times.  It became necessary this week for us to be admitted to Primary Children's Medical Center (PCMC) in SLC for continuous monitoring to give the doctor's a chance to try and get these episodes under control.  While seizures are not fun for anyone, the only medical problems that have arisen from them have been a couple of bumps on the head.  Nevertheless we feel it is important to be at the hospital to give Carter the best chance of overcoming this little setback so he can continue with his boistrous life! While we are here he is being continuously monitored and his medication is being tweaked.  

So far being at PCMC has been wonderful!!!  Its almost like being on a cruise!  Seriously!  They have an activity cart that brings art and crafts around (hence the painting he did), room service anytime with anything you want, as much as you want, for FREE (for the patient only, of course), playrooms and movies for free and even and XBOX 360 in every room.  Plus there are volunteers that do everything from music therapy to bringing a dog around to play and do tricks with your kid.  Its AWESOME!  We are so lucky to have such a great children't hospital only an hour away!
And speaking of things to be grateful for, we are so grateful to you, our family and friends, for the love and support and offers of help, not to mention all the care packages and balloons.  We are truly humbled by how many people have reached out to us in the last 24 hours and want to help out family during this "inconvenient" time.  We love you all and are forever indebted to you.  Thank you also for your prayers on our behalf as we feel the comfort of the Spirit with us continuously.  Thank you!
P.S. And for those of you wondering, we will be here at least through Sunday, possibly into next week.  It just depends on how he reacts to the medications.  Christopher is fortunate to be able to work from home and he'll spend Saturday with his parents and us here at PCMC.  We'll just have to see what Monday brings for us.
