Surgical Procedure Scheduled

We have just learned that Colin will have a surgical procedure tomorrow to address some of the pockets of fluid.  Please pray for Colin, his family and for guidance for the doctors.  Thank you.

Monday Morning Update

As stated in the last post, Colin was moved out of the ICU yesterday.  That was great news.  However, he still has the chest tube that will remain at least another couple of days.  There is still more fluid that needs to be removed from the lungs.  Once they get the fluid under control, then there is the lung infection that brought him to the hospital to deal with again.  There is still no talk of when he could be released as the doctors still do not know what "this" is. They are still focused on his daily progress, but at least he is no longer in isolation.  More tests to conduct!  He is almost a week into the hospital stay.  Kelly wants to thank everyone for their continued concern and prayers.  Please continue to keep Colin and the family in your prayers. 

On a personal note, I also want to thank you for continuing to support them as they navigate through this medical ordeal.  With two younger children myself, it is difficult to imagine what they are experiencing right now with Colin out of work and Kelly wanting to be at the hospital as much as possible.  She currently has family in from Atlanta, but at the beginning of this, it was their friends who stepped up to help (and continue to step up), and for that WE are truly thankful!

Out of ICU!!!

They have moved Colin out of ICU this evening. Great news indeed. Colin will still be getting another CT and will still have to get some additional fluids removed from the lungs. We are very excited though that they moved him out of ICU.

Sunday morning

I just spoke with Kelly and she said that Colin will be going for another round of x-rays/CT Scans today.  They are trying to pinpoint the cause of this aggressive infection.  She did said that Colin was able to call her this morning - which was wonderful news.  This also means he was able to take of the oxygen mask.  He is still in ICU and there was no talk of when he would be moved out of ICU.  She also indicated they would be doing additional procedures to try to get some additional pockets of fluid from the lungs.  Keep those prayers coming!

Waiting on Additional Test Results

We are hoping to have some additional information tomorrow.  Colin is in good spirits even after all he has been through.  Right now the chest tube is doing what is supposed to and the oxygen is also helping.  There is still a lot of fluid issues with the lungs so please keep the prayers coming.
