Good news for Colt

Our appointment at the cardiologist included great news for Colt…..

Above is a picture with Colt and Dr. Cottrill, she is one of a kind. Everyone at her office is so sweet and caring, we are so thankful for her.

Colt is doing great and he is still in the stable category, his blood pressure was a little high since he has gained weight (13 pounds) and 24 ½ inches long. So all his meds were increased to adjust for his weight. Dr. Cottrill said to enjoy Christmas, Colt’s Cardiac Catheterization will be December 16th @ 8:00 am and surgery will be in the first week or two of January.

What a special Christmas this will be. Colt also got his 4 month shots, so were are getting out much more.

Many people who read our blog have asked how Mark and April’s, little boy Devon is doing. Dr. Cottrill goes to the UK Children’s Hospital every morning and at the end of our appointment Monday Bradley and I had asked how little Devon was doing just as we had each time. At our previous appointment last we had heard, he was hanging on.

I am sad to say that little Devon had passed since our last appointment.
Please keep Mark and April in you prayers, we all know that nothing right now can ease their pain or fill their lose, but I ask that everyone pray to give them comfort and strength.

The doctors has told Mark and April how serious Devon’s heart defects were and how complex the surgery was and so they decided to have little Devon baptized before he went into surgery. God always has a plan, as he did for this special little boy. Sometimes we may not understand it or agree with it, but we have to continue to have faith that over time he will open our eyes to understanding.

Our love, thoughts, and prayers go out to Mark and April.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
