Saturday Update......

Colin continues to recover from the second surgery. He is still currently sedated and paralyzed, however they are going to lift the paralyzing drug today. The plan on leaving the tube in for at least another day or so, because they really want to support the left lung. Dr's are pleased with his recovery once again. They will be pulling 1 of the 3 chest tubes out today. Colin's color is coming back and the red dot on his head is slowly starting to fade.

  11. Please let Colin, Mel & Tim that we think of them everyday. Nathaniel's 2nd surgery was on 2/14/2007 and was a success. It has been a long road and this is well deserved success for Colin. I think that strong boy will prove them all wrong. Keep the faith.
    With Much love.
