Around 9 a.m., Dr. O’Holleran came in to check on his patient. When he
saw Colton up, smiling and chipper, and playing with his action figures, the
doctor was speechless. For a long moment, he actually just stood and
stared. Astonished, he examined Colton and then scheduled another round
of tests to be triple-sure that Colton’s insides were on the mend. This time,
Colton literally skipped all the way to the CT scan lab.
We stayed in the hospital another day and a half just to be certain
Colton’s turnaround stuck. During those thirty-six hours, it seemed we had
more nurses in and out than usual. Slowly, one at a time and in pairs, they
would slip into the room—and each time, their reaction was the same: they
just stood and stared at our little boy.
