July 1, 2008 Dr. Plunkett decided it was time to close up Colt's chest. All of the swelling had went down and he looked to be back to normal size. He has lost a little weight going from 8 lbs. 6oz. to a little over 7 lbs. but they have assured us that when he gets back to breast milk he'll gain his weight back.
Before they came in to close him up, we got to go back and see him. They had lowered his oxygen percentage so he had a little blue tint, but they told us that it was normal. He looked so small and so full of pure innocent but at the same time I saw this child of God who had so much strength and determination that he would not give up on anything and know that he is just two weeks old completely amazes me. Seeing Colt is seeing a true blessing and he is such a picture to prove how amazing God's work and power really is.
We went to the waiting room as they began to prepare for the closing of his chest. After waiting for a couple of hours Dr. Plunkett's nurse came in with an update. Her news was good, all was going very good. They got a later thought then what they wanted but they were almost done. She told us that in about 30 minutes Dr. Plunkett would be finished and in about an hour Missy and Bradley would get to go back and see their strong amazing little boy.
The time came and Missy and Bradley went back to see Colt. God answered another prayer and gave us another blessing with all going good with Colt getting stitched up. Missy and Bradley Came back and Bradley took My mom (Kim) and his mom (Bonnie) back to see him. They returned saying wonderful things about how he looked so great and how his color came back. Then I went back to visit him. He looked great his color really had came back, he was still sleeping but again as I looked at that precious little boy I saw God's amazing work and the greatest form of strength in a little baby boy.
They told Missy and Bradley that within the next few days they would be weening him off of his ventilator, feeding tube, chest drainage tubes, and medicines. And hopefully in about two weeks our greatest blessing from God would get to come home with his mommy and daddy.
