2:45 pm CT - Colin is still waiting to be taken in to surgery.
Previous: They are saying that surgery will be at around 11am. I will post additional updates today as they come in. From what I understand, this surgery will require them to take out two ribs to get to the area of the infection. I can't even begin to think of how painful this must be or how painful the recovery will be. Just keep Colin in your thoughts today.
This page is dedicated to helping a man who at every turn has helped others. He is a loving father, husband, brother, musician and friend. Recently Colin was not feeling well and went to the hospital with what seemed like flu-like symptoms. As we started this blog, Colin was in the ICU with what the doctors are calling a “mysterious” progressive lung infection. We now mourn the loss of a great soul. Memorial details are below.
About this Blog - About Colin
This blog was built to update everyone with Colin's medical progress and to have a place where people can share information. When I first started the blog, the donations were thought to be for all of the medical expenses. Then Colin had an extended hospital stay (a lot of which was ICU and surgery). Now, with this tremendous loss, the funds donated are to help Kelly maintain the everyday family expenses/bills. Any additional funds will be directed to the children's funds through the donation function on this page. We will continue to maintain this page as different events are scheduled. Please continue to check back. I just wanted to let everyone know how very grateful the family is and how the prayers and support help so much during these very dark days. A little information about Colin. He is a father. He is a husband. He is a brother. He is a musician. He is a friend to many in the New Orleans area and beyond. He works in the service industry. Through his many years as a bartender/manager, he has touched so many lives by just being Colin. He loves his family and he loves his city! Pre-Katrina, he ran Nick’s Bar and was in a local band. Although Nick’s bar and the band did not survive Katrina, he believed in New Orleans and was one of the first residents back in the city. He helped many people transition back to the city that he loves and calls home. He has always been a friend to everyone. If you needed anything, he would be there for you. If you would like to contribute, please do so using the donation option on this blog. You can also post the blog link on your facebook account. Kelly's spirits have been lifted all of the posts and pictures. Blog and pictures below:
