Carter Bradford Schanz: Life



Ok...so through 'lot's of prayer, fasting and priesthood blessings we decided to bring Carter home on just fluids.  We knew with this decision he would only live for a few months at the most.  We were so excited to bring him home with us.  The time we had was so amazing.  Casey and I took the semester off from school and just hung out with each other.  We had so much support from our family and friends. This trial turned into the greatest blessing of our lives. There were a few scary moments, like when Carters central line broke and we had to drive him down to Salt Lake in order to get it fixed.  We took him hunting, on a drive through Yellowstone park, traveling all through out Utah to watch Casey play soccer.  He was the perfect baby, a great sleeper and loved to be held.  We took many photographs and videos. We thank Heavenly Father everyday for the chance we had to take care of Carter and the many blessings we have received.

He is such a cutie. I love that you both took the semester off to enjoy being a family.
