They put Colt back on nasal cannula today. They also increased the calories that they are supplementing him with so that he can keep gaining weight. He weighs 3 lbs. and 15 oz.....almost to 4 lbs! Speaking of that, they decided to move up his surgery now that his weight is up. They will do the surgery on Thursday, Dec. 20th. That is starting to scare me a little, we meet with the surgeon on Wednesday to talk about it. I guess it will take about an hour and a half, and the pain afterwards should be manageable by Tylenol. They say it is a pretty common surgery. They will have to intubate him for the surgery- but Toby says they will extubate as soon as it's over and he is awake. They also gave him more blood today as his hematicrit was a tad low. They are running cultures to check for infection again too.

Colt -
The docs always say they can manage pain with tylenol - but my advice is hold out for the stronger stuff, hey if they are going fix you up a bit then I believe you are entitled to a comfortably woozy recovery.
Lots of love -

Just wanted to say how proud I am of Colt, Nicole and Kreg. What a fighter Colt is. Nicole and Kreg are wonderful parents! Merry Christmas and hopefully my gift will get their soon. Yes, I bought you a gift but you will have to wait and see what it is.
