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!
