Yesterday we received some bad news from the doctors. Yesterday morning , Colin began to throw up bile again just like he did before surgery. His oxygen levels also decreased. He threw up several more times that morning and they decided to do an echo to see if pressure had changed within the heart. Well, they don't believe the pressure changed much, however, they noticed that the right ventricle is still failing. They brought Colin back into the ICU so they could put him back on Milrinone and Dopamine, which helps his heart contract better. We were told that it could take a long time for the right ventricle to recover. We were also told that it might never recover.
They are now going back to the drawing board to find out what, if any, could be done...... They did say that his heart just may need more time on the drugs to overcome the past damage. We are not sure what surgically they may need to do, if any....... Colin is a fighter, and we just hope that he still has fight left in him to overcome this next obstacle. Please fire back up the prayers, because God has to listen sometime right?

This is Matthew King's Grandma Sue. I am praying so very hard for Colin as we always do for Matthew. Our darling little boys are such fighters and will be very strong men some day. They have gone through more in a couple years then we have in a life time. Colin is very precious and a beautiful child. I hope God gives him special blessings and that he is on the road to recovery soon.
Love, Grandma Sue
