A good mom will do everything in her power to make sure her child is getting the best possible care when they’re sick, and for 13 years, everyone thought that was what one mom was doing for her terminally ill son.
For thirteen years, mom Danita Tutt has devoted her entire life to her sick son Colby, who was born prematurely and has been battling a heart condition, kidney disease, short-term memory loss, high functioning autism and brittle bone disease his entire life.
“He has a colon three times the size of an adult’s colon and he has to do stomach flushes every night,” Tutt told the media last April. “He cannot absorb any nutrients on his own so his diet consists of total parenteral nutrition supplements and his weight is down to 56 pounds.”
Recently, Colby’s health seemed to take a turn for the worse after fighting 34 separate medical conditions for years when started getting hospice care , and Tutt started preparing for the worst by purchasing her own son’s casket.
“He keeps telling us that he is ready to go to Heaven so he won’t be sick anymore. It just gives us peace knowing he is going to be with our savior,” said Tutt, who started a GoFundMe to collect money for his various treatments and surgeries. However, when Tutt wasn’t around one day, a hospice worker noticed that Colby could actually eat after she was told that the boy couldn’t have solid foods. “My evening with Colby was surprising in that Colby ate a bean and cheese burrito, a piece of cake and approximately 20 ounces of sweet tea and tolerated it all,” said administrator Connie Koehler.
Koehler immediately reported Tutt, who has since been arrested for starving the boy, keeping water from him, and faking his illnesses for attention. When Colby was removed from his mother’s care, he weighed just 55 pounds, had a colostomy bag, a central line, and a feeding tube.
Colby is now eating on his own, no longer needs any pain medications, and had had his central line, colostomy bag, and feeding tube removed.
