The First Surgery



On June 25, 2008 Colt had his first surgery. Missy and Bradley Went the night before so they could feed him his last feeding before surgery, then returned later a 4:30 a.m to stay with him. Before surgery one of our pastors Issac Whitt came and they prayed over Colt, then the anesthesiologist came in and ask if it would be alright to pray over him and Missy said that would be wonderful. I think that, that was completely wonderful for him to do that.

They took Colt back to the O.R. around 7:15 a.m to begin the surgery. We all sat in the waiting room patiently waiting for an update and praying. Then Dr. Plunketts nurse came in and talked to Missy and Bradley. She had good news, all was going well and Colt was doing very good so far in surgery. We were all very happy to hear the good news of how well he was doing. She told us that she would call back later with another update.

Patiently waiting and praying through the day the phone in the waiting room rang. My Dad picked it up and they asked for the Hardy family. He handed the phone to Missy and we recived our second update. All went well, they warmed Colt's body tempeture back up and were taking him off of the bypass machine. praises to God were sent up after hearing how well all went. Colt is such a strong child and his parents are so very strong as well.

After surgery, they were rolling him back to the PIC unit and Missy and Bradley got to see their strong hansome boy. While they were getting Colt situated in his new room, Dr. Plunkett and his nurse came in to talk to Missy and Bradley. Dr. Plunkett was very satisfied with getting to preform the surgery he planned on. All went great during the operation and Colt did excellent during all of the surgery. We were all greatly appreicated for all they had done and Missy and Bradley were so greatful for having been blessed so much and soon getting to see their son.
After Dr. Plunkett left the anesthesiologist came in with more good reports on how well he did. We all knew that little Colt was a strong, tough little boy.

And so many thanks For all the prayers and thoughts for Colt and his family. We ask for you all to continuely pray and keep little Colt in your thoughts.

Through Gods love and the power of prayer we will be bringing Colt home.
