Collin's doing GREAT!!!!! Surgery’s cancelled!!!! WOOHOO

Elizabeth and baby Lane
Mr. Prez and Mr. VP!!!haha

Collin and Kolton insisted that you wear the masks on your tummy! NOT your face!haha
So sweet!
Love my little man!


Collin LOVES the elephants!




HEY! Look at the camera!


Collin’s doing soooo great! He’s back to pooping 5-6 times a day. We don’t know for sure what changed but I think the Lactobacillus overgrowth followed by bacterial (mainly e-coli) overgrowth followed by c-diff was too much for his intestines and may have caused both dilation as well as poor motility…but who knows maybe it was prayer!!!!!? Anyway, surgery has been cancelled and we are working on getting Collin off fluids and being able to pull the line. Wow! Wonder how many times we are going to go down this road!!!!? Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! Can’t wait to see our Ohio family in June and Nana the end of this month!!!!!! Love you all sooo much and keep the prayers coming!

I am so happy to hear that news!!! Although it feels like you "go down this road a lot"...take each blessing as it comes. Little ones only get stronger and stronger each day--espcially Collin who is probably the strongest little boy I know!! We love you guys SO much! :)

Thank you everyone!!!! Kolton and his family are going to be “moving” up here for awhile. They need to keep Texas Medicare so they will not be selling their house but will be renting an apartment here until they get the ok to move back to Texas. Kolton is doing a round of steroids as well as antibiotics to see if they can treat the possible bacterial overgrowth as well as the colitis (colitis is inflammation of the colon). Sadly, the steroids are having a terrible effect on Kolton’s personality. They are all walking on eggshells trying not to make him mad!!!! If someone slips up he has a major meltdown that can last for hours. Please say a prayer for the family and hopefully Kolton will pull though this rough patch. No news on a possible transplant…yet.
