A smile.....

Today, we got Colin to smile quite a bit after the drugs wore off after the cath. I was able to get a quick video of him smiling as you can see. Have you ever seen a child with a breathing tube down his throat smile? With all of this going on, he is still in a good mood.


PS - They keep saying that the red dot on his head is getting smaller and will go away. It better......

Nanna and Aunt Laurie will be on our way up to Boston shortly. Grandpa is thinking of you all and praying for a complete and successful surgery for Colin. He will see you Saturday just in time for the return of the smile. All the neighbors are praying for Colin and mom and dad.

Love,
Mom (Nanna)

Hi guys...the video was certainly a treat. As is the case most days, it will be hard to concentrate today at work but I have trust that you are all in good hands (in fact I didn't sleep most of the night so I had plenty of opportunity to make sure) and that Colin will continue to be the fighter that he is. Love, Auntie Sue
