First Day back to school

Nathan had a great first day back at school. He was very excited to be there. His teachers all said he did a wonderful job and enjoyed being back with his friends. He is cleared for school, OT and speech, and some minor PT as tolerated. Our follow-up appointment is April 30th. We will receive more details on follow-up PT.

Nathan on the mend

Nathan is definitely starting to feel better. He no longer cries while he is getting his diaper changed. He played a lot in his bean bag chair this morning with the iPad, coloring, toy drum, puzzles and more. I also let him do tummy time 3x today and start to hope some other stretching this weekend. Preston and I gave him a bath together tonight and I know that helped him feel much better.

We had a follow-up for Owen's tonsil surgery. He is doing well and everything looked good. I was so glad CiCi was able to join me because having one in a stroller, one in a wagon and one on foot was just a bit too much to do alone. N

Field Day at Westminster

Thursday our family attended the Westminster field day to cheer on Logan. He had a blast. It was so fun to see Logan and his friends play the different games. Lots of parents were there cheering on their kids so it was also a nice time to catch up. The hour sitting in the wagon really wore out Nathan and he fell asleep during Owen's therapy and slept for several hours.

Nathan is home

A little after 5:00 tonight Nathan was discharged from Children's Hospital. He did well during the day with the pain medication regiment. He had a great day watching movies, playing several iPad games, connect 4 and coloringpictures. He is still in a good bit if pain to be moved, but we just try not to do it much right now. On our way home we stopped and bought a Mickey Mouse bean bag. It is great for him to sit and relax.

This morning

Nathan is feeling a bit better this morning. We are going to try an at home pain regiment today, until about 3. If he tolerates it then we will go home this afternoon!

Resting Nathan

Nathan seems to be getting back to his old self. He has smiled at many people this afternoon. He drank a cup of milk and ate some apple sauce and ice cream. He has had very little pain medication. A big thanks to my parents for watching Owen and Logan, to CiCi for going on Logan's school field trip with him today and for coming to the hospital to visit Nathan with Paw Paw Bill, to Bill Johnston for stopping by to check in on him and for Misty for visiting with us this evening. We appreciate everyone's prayers.

Nathan's surgery

Nathan went through surgery well. We have not seen him yet but will try to post on his recovery. He has a couple of painful days ahead of him. Here are a few pre surgery pictures.
