I am shaking as I'm writing this because I have just been through hell and back.
Yesterday I spent all day cooking a great dinner for my family to enjoy. My sister was going to come over with her new baby, Conner, so I wanted to make sure everything was really nice.
Everything was ready so I went upstairs to check some emails. Ericson was outside with the boys flipping the steak. All of the sudden I hear " PRISCILA, CALL 911"
I run downstairs and see Ericson crying with Carter in his arms. Carter was all purple, his lips were like black and he was sooo limp. I rushed to the phone and called 911. Ericson found Carter in the spa, faced down. Ericson was outside the whole time and didnt hear a splash or even see the water move. Carter wasnt breathing and didnt have a pulse. All I could do was lay hands on him and pray. Ericson and I prayed all around him and Ericson did CPR and Carter started throwing up and breathing on his own. Ive never been so scared in my life. The fireman trucks came and took Carter to our local Hospital and then took him by hellocopter to the Childresn Hospital in San Diego.
When we arrived Carter was all hooked up to a bunch of machines. It was sooooooo hard to see him like that. Once he saw me he instintly wanted me to hold him but of coarse I couldnt. They took lots of blood work and x-rays and said that he was in a critical state! They took us upstairs, put a tube down his nose to get rid of all the water he swallowed. They said that putting a tube down your nose is really painful. All I could do is just hear Carter cry. Oh my gosh!!! They took lots of blood work and woke him up every 10 min.
All we could do is pray and hope for the best. We didnt want him to be brain damaged .
Today he woke up really responsive, clapped his hands, through down his toys while saying "oh-oh" and danced when there was music on tv.
GOD IS GOOD!!!! He really brought my little Carter back and in such a short time. I cant begin to explain of Gods faithfullness to us and little Carter. The doctors gave Carter little chance to live saying that the percent rate of infants dying was 90 percent!
Anyways, the chance for him wasnt good but he did an amazing job of breathing alone today and we are home now. I just have to moniter him and make sure he doesnt get a fever
please pray for us as we are going through this time
he is starting to cry so Im going to get him
thank you all
