Nathan and I got to the hospital at around 7:30am and Ron joined us as soon as he got off work. Nathan was so glad to see him.
We spent a while in the pre-op playroom. Nathan really enjoyed that part.
He is really into little matchbox cars right now.
We tried to be upbeat for him but eventually he began to suspect something was amuck especially when we started dressing oddly.
After his surgery we held him as much as possible. The braces on his arms are called no-nos and they keep him from putting his hands in his mouth.
Nana came to the hospital to see Nathan and he was pleased to snuggle with her. Here we are trying to get some fluids into him.
The surgeon who repaired Nathan's palate said it looked very, very good so he likely will not need more corrective surgery on it, We are so happy to hear this.
We didn't get released until 2:00pm today and we are glad to finally be home. Nathan is happy to be home. I can't help but wonder how the horrible experience translates to a baby's mind because we can't explain it to him. He will be on a liquid diet for a week.
Thank you to everyone who remembered Nathan in your prayers!

I'm glad to see that everything went well. I'll continue to keep him in my prayers as he heals up.
Whew! What an ordeal, but how fantastic that his prognosis is so good on his mouth. That is way so awesome.

He looks darling in his gown. Glad to hear that prognosis is so good! I know you're glad it's over.

Glad to see he is doing well and that he shouldn't need more surgery - you must feel so relieved. I haven't checked out your blog in a while - you have great pics! Nathan is just so cute! by the way we took pics of dd in the hospital - she later needed surgery and we were able to show pics from the last time and I think it made it a little less scary for her! but hopefully you won't have to worry about more hospital visits!
Such a little sweetheart. So glad everything went well for Nathan.
