Going Home Tomorrow

Nolan is feeling great today. He is eating, albeit in tiny amounts. He has almost no pain. Tomorrow, they'll remove his final stitches (tying down his mic-key button) and we will go home.

I am pretty sure this surgery has been a resounding success. Nolan's voice seems slightly higher in oitch, but really, he just isn't hoarse anymore.

This may be the best thing we ever did for him!

Oh Leah, that's exciting! Praying the surgery is going to solve a lot of issues for Nolan. And still praying for complete/successful healing. Glad it's going so well,

That sounds amazing! Has Nolan said anything about not hurting the same any more? I'd love to know if he's noticed the benefits too...

It is hard to tell. He is still recovering from the surgery and instead of reflux pain, he has food get stuck periodically, which is very painful.

He's doing great, though, and I suspect the benefits will compound over time.

Hooray! I am so thankful everything is going well for y'all. I bet Nolan will be glad to get back home to his own bed and his big brother.

Leah, this makes me want to cry. I am so happy for you and Nolan. SO happy your hospital day is almost over. He sure is a trooper. Now, you need to go home and get some rest.
