Today is the March of Dimes in which Kolton's Krusaders will be Kruisin 4 miles rain or shine. We are so excited to walk for Kolton and all the other babies and families effected by birth defects.
It looks like Kolton's discharge date will be Monday, April 27th. In one of Kyle's previous posts, he mentioned that at some point all of this feeling like a nanosecond in time. Kolton will have been in the hospital 104 days - that's a really long nanosecond. On Monday before he is discharged, Kolton has to have another eye exam and pass a hearing test. His car seat also has to be inspected and approved for him. We spent Saturday in the hospital as a family to get a glimpse of the new challenges of 2 in diapers at the same time. It was fun and a bit scary, but Tavyn really loved trying to help care for Kolton. He brought him his nuk and patted him when he starting crying. Then he snuggled in the chair with Mommy and baby and then with Daddy and baby like that's just the way it's suppose to be. We thought we were overwhelmed with emotions before, but now tears of complete joy flow freely. What a great big brother Tavyn is already! Kyle and I also took our infant CPR class and are starting to learn about how to care for Kolton. He'll only be on 2 meds when he comes home - one to help him pass fluids and one for reflux. He's eating like a champ and hungry every 2 hours. (I was hoping they'd have him sleeping through the night before discharge or at least let us use that continuous feed at night - LOL.) Kyle and I have been trying to get the house ready as we thought we'd have another couple weeks to prepare, but what a wonderful problem to have. I will be taking some more time off from work and working PT from home as much as possible. This journey would not have been possible without your healing prayers. We will continue to make posts as Kolton continues to heal and grow.
Much love-The Thompson Tribe
