His mother was presented with two checks at the game. One was for Carter’s recovery fund and another was for Children’s Hospital.

“Lots of support. This is great. It means a lot. It helps out a lot. Everybody calls every day. Checks on me...sees if I need anything,” Terri Mason, Carter’s mom, said.

Terri says Carter is making great strides. He is walking and talking and learning colors and numbers.

She is hoping he can go home soon.
