My apologies for the long lapse in new posts. I'd grown weary of the daily updates, particularly with very little changes in Nathan's situation. Today is his one month "anniversary" in the hospital. Acknowledgment of this brings a heavy sense of frustration and sadness, yet there is optimism that this can't last forever.
There has been continued gradual improvement in Nathan's condition over the last week. His voice has completely returned and he's now able to sit up on his own. He usually takes a daily wagon ride over to one of the other wings, although I've yet to see this first-hand. Alyssa has visited him a few times, she's been very good to him. We brought him balloons last week which really made him smile.
We don't have a firm date on when Nathan's next surgery will be. His surgeons have prepared us to expect that it might be little more than exploratory, depending on what they find. They suspect there is some blockage caused by scar tissue. Ideally, they would be able to remove the blockage and reconnect his bowels the way nature intended. Nobody will know until they get in there and examine.
That's all for now. I'll try to keep up the frequency of updates this week. I hope everyone enjoyed their vacation weekend.
