Please wait til the ride comes to a complete stop. Once the ride has stopped please lift the restraint bar are exit to the left..... Instructions for getting off the roller coaster ride we just started. It seams like we have been standing in line for this ride for the past 19.5 weeks and the ride finally started yesterday. Although the realities of the ride are beginning to settle in we are able to look around and still remember and appreciate how blessed we are.
Despite the chaos of yesterday Colby wanted to spice things up a little bit more today. After getting to bed a little after 2 AM the phone rings a little before 5 and it was none other than the nurse in the NICU.... Mr Hitchcock sorry to wake you but.....
Colby started having seizures early this morning. They were able to get them to stop initially with some light medication. They could not see a direct cause for them so they began running test. They did a spinal tap early this AM to check for infection or other causes. They are running an EG (electrical current test on his brain), an MRI on his brain, and some other test to see if they can figure out the cause of these seizures. He had another episode after they did the spinal tap so they are really looking for answers at this point.
I guess this is were the ride comes into play.... We have been "preparing" ourselves for heart issues over the past 20 weeks and little Colby said check it out here comes the curve ball..... seizures.
Luckily there is not a better place for him to be for care and supervision. We just met with the cardiologist and they said everything looked as they had expected. There were no surprises after his delivery and initial eco. They did explain that these seizures are not typical with heart defect babies which is why they have ordered so many test to figure out where they are coming from.
Becca was able to visit the NICU for the first time this morning which was great..... She was so excited to see him and touch him....
Details: 6lbs 12 oz 19.5" long full head of dark hair
We will post more when we have more.... Please continue to pray for God's healing hand to continue to hold Colby safe.
Thanks again for everything
Jason

I know you don't know me, but I am a friend of Maggie's. We lived together in Nashville and she was in my wedding last November. I heard a lot about your family and saw many adorable pictures of your older son. I want you to know that I will be praying every day for Colby. We will lift him up in our church as well. Please hold onto each other and to God through this time. He has a plan and a purpose for everyone and everything. May God bless you and your family and may He put his healing hands on your beautiful little boy.

Jason, You, Becca and Colby will be in my prayers. I will post this on my church website also. He is a beautiful little man. God will always be there and he is in control. Just know you will have so many people praying for you and your family. My step niece is at John Hopkins and just came out of surgery and she is nothing short of a miracle. God bless you, Stephanie Kennedy Siebe
We are in continued prayer for you both and little Colby. Layla decided she wanted to wake up at 4:30 this morning and play and as i was up rocking her Colby kept coming to my mind - I kept checking your site to see if there were any updates and just kept praying. I had no idea the journey you guys were entering at the time. I guess Layla knew and wanted me to get up so we could be standing in the gap praying for you all. I love you and my heart goes out to you as you go through probably the toughest ride of your life - I only wish I was closer!
