Well, Colton is scheduled for surgery at 11 today. They are going to put the skull flap back in . They are also going to do a trach and a feeding button at the same time so he won't have to be put under 2 seprate times. His Dr. told them yesterday that after the bone is back in his left hemisphere of his brain should start working again and he should be alot more alert.The trach is a good thing because the tube down his throat keeps gagging him and making him cough. Then in the next week or so they will go back in one more time and put something in the back of his head where he had the fracture. They have to build it first. Hopefully that will be the last major surgery and then he'll go to Baylor for rehab. He is doing well even with all this stuff going on. He has a new trick too. If you tell him to stick out his tounge he will! It's too funny. He did it for several different people on command which is really good. That means he's doing it on purpose and not as a reflex. They also told Derek and Kelly that he isn't spastic which is good news too. His muscle are rigid instead of having random spasms. I will update later today after the surgery. Please pray for Colton to come through this latest surgery stronger and please pray for the Drs. to do a great job. Keep up the prayers for Kayla in New York.
