Sad news for Carter and family

After feeling that something was off based on Carter's behavior, Mom Megan brought him in to the doctor and was met with devastating news:
Carter has a tumor covering a quarter of his brain.
Thank you everyone for your thoughts an prayers. We are in total shock and devastation. It's very grim.
He is in MRI right now getting more of a look at the tumor. We won't know the next step until they know more about it. My heart hurts like I could never have imagined. We can only hope that he pulls through this. He is staying in the ICU to make sure they can keep him stable. His heart rate fluctuates from very low to the low side of normal and his oxygen is low. While he is under sedation they will incubate (breathing tube down his throat) to help stabilize him
I will post updates when we know
Thank you again
