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!!!!!!!!!

Great pictures! Lol @ Kayla's comment, I think Britt and Nick look VERY comfortable with babies/little kids! Glad you had a great Christmas and that you got to spend time with family. (How'd Col like bowling?) Thanks for the update!! Love you guys.

P.s. We're ecstatic at Collin's progress and looking forward to him being DONE with the gtube and the foot brace stuff!
