Today was a better day. They took Carter down for an EEG and CAT scan. The results were better, they said that the swelling appears to be going down slightly. They will not know the extent of the brain damage (if any) for a few days. They have to wait and see how Carter does in the next few days. So we are praying that the Carter continues to progress in the right direction. They said that he is not out of danger because things can change very fast, but to keep the prayers coming. He is still in the pediatric ICU, and Eric (Carter's father) and Chole have been staying with Carter 24 hours a day. They have not left his side. I finally got Chole to come to her house today to take a shower, and pack some clean clothes for the next few days. She also grabbed Carters soft blanket and stuffed froggy. The doctors are hoping Carter will start waking up in the next few days, but we just have to wait and see.
