The archives for Colin Loves Tractors extend back until several days after his diagnosis on June 14, 2009. The most recent posts go into life after Colin died on March 17, 2018. The individual articles represent a snapshot of our perception and interpretation of events at the time written. Much of the reporting on medical facts is incorrect; some of this is ultimately corrected and some is not.
Obviously, we did not create these updates to provide medical advice or information to others, so this is not intended to replace the medical counsel of qualified professionals. Outside of this disclaimer, the more salient point is that all knowledge suffers from the limits imposed by the situation: in our case, a general ignorance of things medical compounded by a short timeframe.
This experience has and continues to teach us many things about medicine, life, and the process of making appropriate decisions in the care of a young child with a life-threatening disease.
Please note that the entries appear in reverse chronological order, meaning that the newest blog within the month appears at the top.
