Nathan's recovery has been slow and steady. He moved from the ICU to a room in the IMC, and has since been moved to a "regular" room on the pediatric floor. The nurses are back to flirting with him, and he's just as ornery as usual. They turned off his fentanol drip a few days ago, giving him morphine as needed. His pain levels seem to be higher than the last surgery, but he also had a lot more work done to him this time around.
It is so nice not having to worry about ostomy bags anymore. His skin is in good shape, even the incision is healing well. I don't know if he'll be home for Christmas, but at least we can imagine closure in the not-too-distant future.
