Who is Mike Carter?

Mike is a father of five, a friend to many, a respected co-worker and supervisor, and a husband.

A Quick Overview...

On January 5, 2008, around 7:00 p.m., Mike Carter was broad-sided by a tractor-trailer truck just outside of Logansport, Louisiana. He sufferered extensive head trauma and numerous broken bones. He remains in a coma in the SICU at LSU Medical Center in Shreveport.

Mike is the father of five children ranging in age from 4 to 20. He is a husband, father, and supervisor for AEP/Swepco in Shreveport.

His wife Ericka is incurring the additional cost for parking, hospital meals, and gas to be by Mike’s side. Not to mention, additional out of pocket medical expenses in the future.

A future which is as of yet, unknown.

February 5th - Day 32

Mike is still running a low grade fever. The doctors started him on an antibiotic yesterday. They are still waiting on cultures from draws they made this weekend. He had a quiet day. Not much activity. PT did some work with him. They intend to work with him tomorrow morning at some point and tomorrow afternoon at some point.

He had been opening his right eye a little over the weekend...not waking up, just opening. However, nothing today.

He remains in a coma.

Continue to pray for Mike and the family. Thanks to the guys from Swepco that helped Ericka out this weekend.
