We got one of the best presents this morning!!
A poopy diaper! Yea!
One of the surgical Nurse Practitioners and surgeons came by this morning and took out W's drain (5 down, 1 to go) and surprised us all by saying he MAY GO HOME TOMORROW!!!!
AHHHHH!
We were so excited and in disbelief.
He was weaned off of his TPN/Lipids this afternoon and completely untethered except for intermittent IV antibiotics. Which means he is super snugable now!
In addition to our great news, we had great visitors.
Amy, Brenna and Bettie Anne stopped by with the greatest hospital survival kits. Not only with goodies for us, but for Miss Emily, too. You guys are so sweet, we cannot thank you enough :-)
Speaking of Emily! Nana and GD brought her by to visit her little brother. She tried to swipe his froggie balloon, but her kisses and hugs made up for it. It was so great to see her. Billy and I miss her so much and can't wait for things to get back to normal...whining, refusing to go to bed and all!
The NP said that his metabolic panel looked really good this morning. They were still waiting on the biliruben and liver panel to come back. The surgeon said that they are really not expecting to see a huge improvement this time; it is serving more as a baseline for future testing.
Wes is needing less and less pain medicine everyday. Eating well. Pooping and peeing.
AND SMILING!
