Ultrasounds would continue to show the extent of Carter’s condition.
“His head was almost as big as the rest of his body during the ultrasounds,” Dan said.
The Callows and their care team prepped, monitored and waited until 37 weeks into Lisa’s pregnancy when she was considered full-term to safely deliver baby Carter via C-section.
“I wanted to meet our baby, once he was born there was something they could do for him,” Lisa said. “Once he was born we could give him to the doctors and get him the help he needed.”
Baby Carter was born on May 14, 2018, at The Mother Baby Center in Minneapolis weighing 9 pounds and 5 ounces.
“Most of that weight was his head, his body was tiny,” Lisa recalled.
Carter’s care journey was just beginning.
