65. Reeca Cole - A Family Story
Aaron and Reeca Cole live in Arkansas and were best friends during Highschool and through college. In 2018, they finally decided to join their prior families together and create one BIG family. Aaron came into the marriage already having a daughter and Reeca had two daughters. Aaron adopted one of the girls and together they have 3 boys. Collectively they have three boys and three girls and two puppies. In May of 2023, Reeca went into Preterm labor. On May 25th, she delivered their precious baby boy, Truett Joshua Cole. Truett spent 9 days in the NICU at LeBonheur Germantown and shortly after returning home, became very ill with three serious upper respiratory infections; RSV, Rhino, and Entro. He spent a month and half intubated and on a ventilator. The doctors finally came to the conclusion that something else was causing Truett to have sick lungs. They did a PEEP titration test and found that Truett had severe Bronchial Malacia. He is now trached and on a vent. After 7 months in the hospital and away from their other children, Truett and his parents, Reeca and Aaron, were able to return home on January 9th, 2024. Although he is on a home vent, nothing slows him down. He has wonderful home health nurses around the clock and his siblings are always there and are a huge help. Truett is thriving and growing more and more each day!
