Well we hit a big pothole in the road......

Colin is out of his cath and doing well. He was in there for about 2 hours. It was much quicker than we expected so we knew something was up. They noticed that a bloodclot formed just past the conduit that they put in during the surgery 2 weeks ago. They are not sure exactly why it clotted but do have to do something about it, soooooo, he is going back into surgery tomorrow morning to remove the clot. They are also going to either do a cath during the surgery or a day after the surgery. That is to be determined. We have not yet talked to Dr. Bacha yet but he was in the cath lab when it was completed. He had another surgery to go to, but will stop in later so I will have more specific details later. As our Syracuse Dr. mentioned, we hit a pothole but we have not bottomed out the car yet.............

Quiz of the day.......True or False......Colin has had more drugs go through his body than Keith Richards, John Belushi, and Eric Clapton combined?????

POTHOLE indeed. Gosh colin....why do you want to stress your parents out???
A clot...did someone forget the aspirin?? I'm glad they found it and have a plan to take care of it. When are you going back in for surgery??
I hope all your hair is gray!
I hope you guys are sleeping (some) and getting enough food.
I hope the nurses are spoiling Colin...and he is medicated enough to have sweet dreams through all of this.

Damn potholes!! And we have had the nerve to complain about the ones in the roads in Northern NH!! Will continue praying and asking everyone we know to do the same.
Regarding drugs, not sure if Colin has had more than John, Eric or Keith, but do believe he has had more than his share!!
Stay strong.
Love & prayers,
Jani & Jim

Oh my goodness...


yes re: drugs...
at one point at Stanford, Matthew was being given 19 different drugs...
we came home on 13 drugs (one being methodone) he was almost 6 months old.

I worried about his poor little liver.

POTHOLES, thanks....what have I ever done to you? Do you have to bring up potholes? You tell Colin that Uncle Brian has indeed bottomed out in a Boston pothole and trust me he is not there!! Thanks for bringing up the memory, some brother you are!! See you this weekend Colin and perhaps I will tell you a story about the Boston potholes! Get well, Aunt Laurie and Kaylee will see you tomorrow.
