Discharge #2

Nate is out of the hospital, again! We both felt much more at ease about leaving the hospital today than we did on Wednesday. As I mentioned in an earlier post, as soon as Nate reached his five goals (and I'm talking within an hour of reaching his fifth goal), he was discharged. It felt a little rushed, but we were glad to get out of there at the same time!

Grateful that the ileus was just a minor complication. We knew he'd have complications, so we'll take this one and hopefully be done! They say that 1/3 of HIPEC patients have serious complications, 1/3 have moderate, and 1/3 have minor complications. Nobody really gets away from this one without anything. We are praying that Nate's recovery continues to go as well as it has. He's not out of the woods yet, and we'll have to watch him closely for the next 3 to 4 months, but we are so grateful that he's had a good recovery to this point. Now we all need to knock on wood!

We are outta here!

Nate's still looking good!

Now we're resting at the Hope Lodge, and waiting for our post op on Tuesday. We hope to get home late next week. Cross your fingers! Love to all.
