About Me	Married Kellie on August 20th, 2005 and we have a boxer, Lucy; Graduated from East Carolina University numerous times, with degrees in Psychology, Occupational Therapy, and Health Education and Promotion (I was a career student for a while). Go Pirates. Kellie is a graduate of Carolina's Law School, so I've become something of a Tarheel fan, also; Clinical specialist for Carolina Therapy Services and Legal/Legislative Issues Chair for the NC Occupational Therapy Association. Kellie and I found out around Valentine's Day, 2008 that we were expecting!!!

After days of complete devestation, we were in touch with the awesome CDH dept. at Duke University. Kellie and I made weekly trips to Duke for checkups and Carter was finally born there on 10/7/08. After a great first day of life, Carter started to struggle and had to be placed on ECMO (lung bypass machine) on his fourth day of life and was given a 30% chance of surviving. He was on ECMO for a grueling 18 days and was in the NICU at Duke for 4 months. After countless blood transfusions, ultrasounds, echocardiograms, and xrays, 4 surgeries, 18 days of ECMO, 3 nurseries, and numerous tears and sleepless nights, we finally came home on 1/31/09 with some minor feeding issues. We are thankful that Carter is alive and happy. Please keep us, esp...(read more)
