1-17-09: Kolton fights another round! The close of yesterday saw his blood sugar return to almost normal levels. By this morning, it was normalized. Kyle spent the evening in NICU. I was discharged Friday afternoon and thanks to my good friends McDrev & Bailey - I had pants to wear home. I spent my first night back at home with Tavyn and Oma.
Kolton's doctor's are very excited about his determination. Today is just cruise control. They are really just tinkering with levels to keep him stable and beginning to decrease some of the medications. Kyle has been reading to him passages from the Bible and other books. The doctors believe Kolton is responding to his voice. Miracle after miracle we are watching!!! I do not think we will be doubting that miracles just happen in the Bible, but they happen everyday.
The cardiac team at Children's will most likely be reviewing Kolton's case on Thursday. They will start to plan his heart surgery. Apparently, the timing of the surgery is pretty critical to its success.
We will still need Kolton's lungs to mature and pray that there is no permanent damage. Additionally, he remains at risk for a brain hemmorhage. They will do routine head scans to continue monitoring. His next hurdle will be proper bowel function. He will start to be introduced to breast milk in a few days. This will be administered through a feeding tube into his stomach. Then the test begins to see if he can tolerate and process it.
Again, we are happy to smile in the blessing of each day!
Thank you for continued thoughts and prayers. They are healing Kolton and us!
