C-Pap

Today's update is that Colton is on the C-Pap. He started struggling a bit on just the nasal cannulas so to help him out they put him on the C-Pap. This is a mask that goes over his nose and pushes puffs of air in to remind and help him to breath. They are trying everything they can to keep him from being put on the ventilator again.

Also, Colton's nurses said they saw him having some probable seizure activity this morning. They dosed him with more phenolbarbitol and that seems to have done the trick for now. Colton will be more at risk for ongoing seizures based on his brain injury.

As for us, we are tired and wearing thin on bad news. We are still staying overall optimistic about the long term picture but the day to day grind and emotional roller coaster are beginning to take their toll. But we remind ourselves daily that what we are going through is nothing compared to the fight our little Colton is putting up. Our boy is strong.
