"I can do it all by myself's"




Collin's been doing wonderful on no feeds!!!!! Claire is rolling over and all is great! Matty will be done with school the end of February just in time for Collin's casting... As you all know, Collin was born with a clubfoot. We went through a series of casts when he was a baby but his foot has turned back in. Collin will be getting his right foot casted March 8. He'll wear that cast for a week then will get a second cast on March 15th. A week after the second cast he'll go in for surgery on the foot followed by cast number three (which he will wear for 6weeks). After the third cast, he'll go in and get a walking cast put on. We aren't sure how long he'll be wearing that one for. Please pray for him! LOVE you all!

We had a wonderful Holiday season, I hope everyone else did too!! We've got so many things to be thankful for! Most importantly, Collin is OFF TUBEFEEDS!!!!!!!! I always knew that was a possiblity but wasn't sure it would ever happen...thank God!!!! We stared making adjustments about four weeks ago. We lowered the rate to 50mls over 8hrs for a week, then to 40mls over 8hrs for another week. Collin then had to get blood work done to makesure he was tolerating the decrease in feeds. Hes was so we then went to everyother night on feeds for a week. Repeated labs and were able to stop feeds!!!! AMAZING! He's been doing such a great job! As long as he doesnt have a need for the g-tube over the next six months he'll be able to get it removed!!!! PLEASE continue to keep him in your prayers!!!!! We are soo thankful! Love and miss you all!!!!!!!!!
