Colin's Late Night Shenanigans

It just wouldn't be Colin without some late night mischief, would it?

After getting a much needed sleep, we called over to the hospital about 6AM to check on Colin. For the most part, he spent a majority of the night asleep. However, we were told that the little bugger woke up a couple times and decided to sit straight up, again, and get mad. After a little more medication to settle him down, he was back to sleep.

When we arrived at the hospital, the doctors were in the middle of their rounds. It was then did we meet up with last night's attending physician providing the details behind Colin and events from last night.

"Mr. Grady woke up a couple times last night...the first time it took three of us to hold him down...the second time, it took four of us to hold him and get control of him...he may be tiny, but he is VERY strong," the physician detailed in his progress report to his colleagues.

Other than these late night mischievous moments, Colin is doing very well. The doctors have assured us that his Jane Fonda sit-ups and wanting to yank out every tube and wire is perfectly normal. Just to ensure that he isn't too quick on the draw, his hands and arms are now comfortably restrained.

Again, thank you for all your thougths, well-wishes, and prayers. They are certainly carrying us over these hurdles and remain a great support system for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you...

With Love,
Dan & Nicole

The little fighter continues the fight! He's too much - there's no keeping him down. Hope he has a quiet day today so you can do the same.

Love and hugs,
Lori
