A good day

katherinemichel · July 2009

On the way to work, I was thinking about the last 2 weeks and things with Colton. Anyway, things are so much better, well, with the exception of his weight loss. I was looking back at the last 10 months and I really wish we would have done the surgery sooner but I didn't want to jump into surgery if it wasn't really necessary. Anyway, I know now that we made the right decision. I think Colton's quality of life is a million times better than what it was several weeks ago. Yeah, we still have a ways to go and he's not 100% better, but man, he's so much better than he was. It feels good to know we did the right decision. A few days after surgery I was having doubts, but I can honestly say that I know now it was the right choice for us, as hard as it was to make. He has not had any choking, gaging, screaming fits while feeding, wheezing, coughing, or congestion since surgery. He's still partly tube fed, but for the most part he's taking bottles. Things are definatly headed in the right direction and I'm hopeful things will continue.
Thanks again for all your support. I was on my way to work and had time to think clearly and I feel great! Today is going to be a good day.
