Conflict
Colton was having unusual stomach pains and was taken to a local hospital. Nobody could determine the problem so the doctor at the local hospital diagnosed Colton with the stomach flu. When asked, the doctor ruled out the possibility of appendix issues even though it was in the family's history. Instantly, the Burpo's knew Colton's sickness was much more severe than the stomach flu so they took him to the Children's Hospital of Denver. The doctor told the Burpo's that Colton had a burst appendix and must undergo emergency surgery. The doctors did not know if Colton would survive the surgery, and his life was in danger.
Resolution
God helped Colton survive by placing him in good hands with all the doctors, including Dr. O'Holleran. During surgery, Colton's dad started yelling at God, unintentionally. God understood how much Todd cared about Colton and sent Colton back down to the earth to be with his family. Later, Colton explained to his dad that his yelling was the reason God sent him out of Heaven. Todd felt really bad that he was yelling at God but was thrilled that his prayers were the reason his son was back with him. However, Colton would have rather been in Heaven with God.
