Monday Update....

Colin had a nice and quiet weekend. He is moving and opening his eyes now however the breathing tube is still in. Today they are going to be backing off the morphine to get him to wake up a little bit more and take deeper breaths so that they can hopfully take the tube out tomorrow. This morning they took 2 of the 3 chest drains out. They think the other can come out tomorrow. Slowly but surely he is getting better and will soon be back to his old self again. They are increasing his feeds to full rate today as well. Hopefully he will tollerate it. Thanks again for all your comments as we really enjoy reading them.

    This is all good news. Sorry that we didn't make it to Boston this past weekend. I'm looking forward to a visit when I can get my hands on my precious nephew!

    GOSH...that is great news! Always a good sign when they start letting the little ones eat!!! (that is always what stresses me out...not the tubes and meds...but...when are you going to feed my baby!)
    I hope the vent comes out soon, the last chest tube...and you'll be holding little Colin before you know!
    We're still praying for you guys!
    Stay strong..and rest when you can!

    I miss you Colin get well soon so we can go back-packing through the mall with our mom's while our dads go to hooters! Mom and dad (and my grandma too) continue to send you love and strength!
