Update
Colin went in last Monday for his 3-month check-up and his PFT's (pulmonary function tests) were significantly lower than his baseline. Dr. Liou wanted to admit him into the hospital. After Colin and I discussed everything we decided he should go in. We have waited a week for a bed. The CFers share the unit with the pregnant women and apparently they have priority. There is something in the SLC water, I think because there are so many pregnant women. Anyway some of the sweet nurses, who love Colin, pulled some strings and got him in 1 day sooner then he would have gotten in. Today we spent getting settled into the hospital. Colin is doing well and we know that a large contributor to his current problem is the horrible air quality in the valley and the constant inversion.
This has been overwhelming for both of us because Colin has never had to go into the hospital more than once a year, his last hospitilization was only 3 months ago. This has really opened our eyes to the fact that we need to make some significant life changes, one of them including moving to somewhere with clean, fresh air. We won' be moving anytime soon but we are in the planning phase. I have 4 weeks left of nursing school and then we can think about moving.
We love you all! Thanks for all of your love and support! Please keep us in your prayers.

That sucks that Colin has to stay in the hospital again so soon! Utah's air quality is so bad. We will be praying for you guys.
Do you know how long he will have to stay at the hospital?
MOVE TO CALIFORNIA!! You could move to Auburn because it's close to us but up more in the mountains with clean air! What places are you guys considering?
That was really fun last night visiting you guys, we'll definitely have to come again, maybe when there's peach frozen yogurt?
p.s. Colin, Zack Morris called, he wants his fanny pack back.
Thanks for coming Patriot Mindy. We shall do it again, soon I hope.
I seriously doubt that Zach Morris called looking for his fanny. If so, perhaps he was trying to re-vitalize his image, since I know how to put the fanny in fanny pack. Woot! Woot!. (We all know he needs something to get his career going again...just look at
I'm so sorry. I hope you're out of there soon.
You can't have them, Emily! You already have enough family and friends in CA. I don't have ANYONE! Mandy and Coli, you guys should consider moving up here. You know you want to.
YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME IN YUMA AZ!THATS TO BAD THAT HE HAD TO GO BACK SO SOON. WE WISH HIM WELL!!!!
I will keep you in my prayers and I vote for the good air quality as well! I have flown into SLC looking down on that inversion layer. It's bad. Sharlene Evans never had asthma until she moved to Orem. We love you.
