SUBWAY!!!!

1












     Carter had a pretty good afternoon. As they say no news is good news. We never received the results of the echocardiogram they did this morning after discovering fluid around his lungs. I guess the doctors are hoping the Lasix will fix that problem. He had lots of visitors and now he is exhausted. But he did sing Ghostbusters and Scooby Doo theme songs in his quiet little voice. We keep making him yell in order to expand his lungs, but its still a soft little yell. At least he's trying. I have video of him singing and will post it later. The day shift nurse promised him Subway which is his favorite. I can't believe they are allowing it. In 6 days all he has had to eat is 1 cup of jello and a few Graham crackers. He wants it so bad that his eyes fill up with tears every time he talks about it. Subway sandwich has been pretty much the only thing he's talked about all day. He started crying (which is just tears since it hurts too much to really cry) earlier and I asked why. He pointed outside and said "it's dark.....now I can't have subway". Matt left at 8pm in search of Subway. He knew where 2 subways were located and of coarse both were closed. The nurse called around and finally found an open Subway near Bradley.  I just received a text from Matt it read......SUCCESS. YEA....45 MINUTES LATER AND A SUBWAY SANDWICH IS ON ITS WAY!!! It will be an even bigger success if he keeps it down without getting sick. I will keep u posted. If he can eat a sandwich after all he's been through this week then things will definitely be looking up!!!
