Good Morning,
Brief update... Kolton did great this weekend he is now 4 lbs 5 ozs. He looks great. He doesn't have that premie look anymore, he looks like a small full term baby. I know it feels as though his surgery being pushed back seems like a setback but the risks involved if they went ahead and did it is very scary. He may be getting out of his incubator soon and into a bassinet. This will allow him to self regulate his own body temp. It is hard to believe that this Wednesday he will be 8 weeks old!!! Big Milestone. I was talking to one of the MDs yesterday and he admitted that we truly have a miracle baby... he said that they didn't know if he would have made it through that first night of his birth. It sounds like there may be a medical journal/article written up on Kolton.
On a separate note I wanted to emphasize that Gretchen and I are open to letting everyone share our family's story and website with anyone and everyone you know. We are very open with it.
Have a great week and we will post soon.
All of our Love,
The Thompson Tribe
