The Big Day

We got to Houston yesterday afternoon to meet with all the pre-op doctors and to follow-up with check-in procedures. Of course, in true Carson form, we found a gun shop. :)
His parents, Granny and my parents arrived in time to check-in our hotels and get him a yummy dinner. He wanted Pappadeux so we fought the crowds to get him the ultimate seafood platter and a coke.
None of us could sleep. I had not slept in days or eaten very much. Although my clothes are fitting loose, I do not recommend THIS diet. We feel actually pretty peaceful and relieved it is all finally here.
This morning we woke up and arrived in time to sit and wait. From 9:30 to 1:45 we sat and waited....and waited. FINALLY, they called him in!
He looked great, especially after the slight sedative. He was a big loopy but smiling.

Please keep praying! We have already felt the love of our friends and family. Carson and I were talking last night about how inspiring it is to know we are loved so much by people from all over and from different phases in our life. Thank you to everyone for reaching out to us and for your support. If you have emailed, facebooked, texted, called, or mailed something, I promise we will respond to every single one. We love you all.

It has been one hour since he was taken back. Keep looking for updates on this site. I will update you as I hear.

May God Bless Carson!
