Three weeks ago little Colton was born to my nephew and his wife. Colton arrived a couple of months early and weighed in at just 3 lbs.! Colton is having some problems, as most preemies do and last week he was transferred to another, area hospital for surgery. They implanted a shunt (reservoir) in his head to collect spinal fluid and blood, which was pooling in his ventricles, and allow this to be absorbed into his body. From what I hear, this is not too uncommon with preemies, though heartbreaking that these little ones have to endure such things.
Colton is doing his best to go home with Mom & Dad. Apparently he is a healthy eater because he is now up to 4 lbs. 10 oz.!! I had a message this morning that the Doctors are discussing another surgery for him but I have no details yet.
Colton needs all of the prayers and well wishes you can send his way! Please, think good thoughts for him and help to get him on his way home with his family.

Praying for baby Colton. Sounds like he's a real fighter though. :)
My heart goes out to Colton and his parents. It's really heart-breaking to see this but I can clearly see he's got a very strong will to survive all that he's been through. I agree, he's a fighter.
I am one of those who will be praying for his recovery and I am praying that he'll survive and grow old so he can get to know his family.
Little guy looks like a fighter God love him and we will definitely be saying some prayers for little Colton.
