Well, we went to Dallas this weekend to see Colton and let me tell you, he is GREAT!! He had to be moved to Children's hospital for another surgery on Friday. Saturday morning they went in and reopened his whole scar and drilled holes in his skull to flush out an infection he had. OUCH! We saw him Saturday afternoon and he was feeling much better. They had his pain down to just a dull throb and he was in rare form. The minut I walked in he flexed his muscles at meto arm wrestle him. Then, he threw his Sponge Bob bean bag at Tripp and hit him dead on. He was smiling and laughing with us the whole time. It was so good to see that smile and hear his voice. They let him cap off his vent when he's awake and he has learned to talk with it really well. Sunday when we went to see him, the nurse had some great news. His culture for bacteria came back negative so hopefully they got all of the infection out. He should be back a BAylor by Wednesday ot Thursday. I can't believe how strong that kid is. After all he's been through, he is still in such great spirits. He is ready to get the rehab over with so he can come home. Keep him in your prayers and please keep Kayla in NY in your prayers too. She is still fighting to recover.
