Mom's Turn

Yes, I am finally doing the update! I am not as good of a writer as Chris...just to for warn you all.

Collin had a pretty uneventful week. On Thursday we visited Jill (Dr. Price’s Nurse). Dr. Price was a bit under the weather so he didn’t want to see Collin face to face. Thank you, Dr. Price. Jill took off the few remaining steri-strips over Collin’s incision and I must say it is healing very nicely! So it looks like they don’t need to see us back if all continues to go well until May.

We are scheduled for the surgery to have his left side implanted and his right side expanded on May 19th. That means we will head up to Kansas City on the 18th for round two.

We are restarting Collin’s regular therapies this week. He has physical and occupational therapies weekly and speech therapy bi-weekly. I am excited for Ginger, Staci and Kris to see Collin post surgery. They are all great!

Collin seems to back to his old self. He continues to pivot around on the floor and get all tangled up in his tubing. He is still enjoying his tambourines and drums. I’ve noticed that since he has been home form the hospital he doesn’t like to be left alone. If the nurse or I walk out of the room for just a second, he gets all upset - crying with his face bright red. Hopefully, it is just a phase and he will snap out of it.

Thanks again for everyone’s continuing thoughts and concerns for our boy, Collin. I rest assure all the prayers have helped him stay strong and healthy through all of this.
