My last post I talked about how Colton is getting sick and how this is affecting his family. The Burpo parents, Todd and Sonja, took Colton to the doctor, and as I said before the doctor gave them the wrong information that Colton had the stomach flu. So, the doctor told the parents that he needs to be kept in doctors hospital until he gets better. Mr. Burpo carries Colton to the hosptial room and lets the doctor hook him up to a bunch of machines that will help him get better. After a few days, the parents realized he wasn't getting better. They thought to themselves, "This can't be just the stomach flu. It has to be something bigger." And that's when they realized that the doctor was wrong. He has appendicitis. They unattached Colton and took him to a different hospital where they could get the correct answers. They took him to a hospital called Great Plains Regional Medical Center in North Platte. They rushed Colton in and began doing X-Rays right away. The parents were looking at the terrible pictures, Coltons appendix had exploded. This sickness had run through the family so the parents have seen this before. They knew all the bad stuff that was about to happen.
I predict that Colton's condition is just going to get worse. This will change the lives of his whole family, church, and just his whole life. I predict that Colton will have to go through some type of surgery that will hopefully save his life.
