Colin is Feeling Better!!

Colin is feeling much better-we are sooo relieved!! He got rid of all of his excess fluid with just his regular diuretics-thank God!! Tim and I were starting to get nervous thinking we may end up back in the hospital. Thanks to Dr. K for helping us out (as always). Tim called him at 6 am on Friday morning when Colin had his terrible temp and his wife answered his cell phone (sorry Mrs. K!) but, of course he called us right back. We tried to go a month without seeing Dr. K but, only lasted 2 weeks-I think Colin missed him!!

I know this is late but, I didn't get a chance to post since I've been sick but, I wanted to say Happy Father's Day to Tim. He is the best daddy in the world to Colin and somehow manages to work full-time and always be with us when we need him most. We love you Daddy! And Colin says Happy Father's Day to Papa who always gets up early with him to watch the Wiggles when he sleeps over his house and Grandpa who always takes him for long walks and Uncle Brian (The Godfather) who drove all the way to Syracuse to see him when he was in the hospital just a few weeks after cousin Kaylee was born. Colin loves you all!

Mommy is grateful to Nanna for staying with us this week since Mommy had a bad cold and didn't want to be around Colin too much so he wouldn't get it and Grandma for cleaning her house for her. (I should get sick more often!!)

I just want to take a second to brag about Colin. Yesterday, his Occupational Therapist told me that even if Colin is sick or exhausted (which is the case most days) he still works harder than any other kid she works with. He has been such a sick kid for so long and his heart is still not functioning properly but, he still pushes himself. I know that he's a tough kid but, it's so nice to hear other people say it. It's that fight that is going to get him better. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you Colin!!

Keep up the good work Colin. Glad to hear everyone is doing better. He was having such a good run healthwise I am glad he didn't break it. 2 more days of school. Perhaps Colin's cousins will make a trip up to Syracuse during the week 'cause Mom loves summer vacation!!! Love, Aunt Laurie and the girls

I always knew there was something extra special in Colin. Colin is blessed to have two wonderful parents like you and Tim to keep cheering him on.
