Just a brief update...
Kolton continues to be doing very well. He is at 4lbs 3oz (as he had lost a couple oz and then gained it right back). He eats 38ml every 3 hours. He is very content to snuggle, eat and grow. While it is difficult knowing it will be a longer road to get him home, the most important thing is that he will come home. God knows the right timing and we just have to be patient.
Thank you for all the compliments about our strength. It is not really us, but all of you that makes it possible for us to keep going. We are relying on your strength, your constant prayers, your surrounding us with encouragement. Your postings and emails help us more than you know. We just have some much for which we are grateful. Like Tavyn, Kyle and I doing the "Hotdog Dance" from Disney's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse every morning to start our day. Nothing like some pure silliness to get you off on a good start. Tavyn laughs with enough delight to last the whole year. And the dog just thinks we're all nuts.
Thanks so much!
Love-
The Thompson Tribe
