During a routine shift change check of Colin and his IV's, bandages, wires, etc., we were able to get a couple pictures of Colin's neck. No trach!! Just a small incision approximately 2.5" long. The surgeon was able to remove his stoma during the LTP procedure. As Colin grows, it is anticipated that the incisions will appear as a small neck crease.Just as an update on the battle with the fever, Colin's temperature has come down a bit to 100F. The cultures that were taken still show no signs of growth or infection, which is a good thing all around. Throughout today, Colin has been very restful. He only woke up once, just to make his presence known, and calmly went back to sleep.
Again, we want to thank each of you for your continued thoughts, well-wishes and prayers for Colin. They are helping him and supporting us in so many ways.
