Day 35 Post Op

We had a very quiet day today. Our visiting nurse came this morning to look Nate over. His wounds  all look really good and he seems to be healing well. He also felt well this morning for the first time since he's been out of the hospital. It's nice to see some progress, no matter how small.





Nate claimed the 'coveted' chair for his afternoon nap.
We thought it would be fun to take a little drive today, but Nate "wilted" after lunch, and ended up taking a little nap instead.

The picture doesn't do justice...a Florentine Canoli.
We had a very nice surprise later in the afternoon when a friend from the Worcester 2nd Ward dropped by for a visit! Yay, we had a visitor! Allison and her three cute boys even brought us a canoli from Mike's Pastry on Hanover Street in Boston. It was such a thoughtful thing for them to do, and it was great to visit with them. I'm so thankful for the good people we've met here. They've loved us from the start, and have made this adventure bearable. We'll never forget the generosity and love we've felt here.
We're slowly figuring out Nate's diet and meds. He actually craved McDonald's fries and a smoothie tonight! I consider that some serious progress.

I think he's looking pretty good!    







We have another post op appointment tomorrow at 3:30 with Dr. Lambert. We're praying that she'll give us clearance to travel home. If Nate has another day like today, the chances are good! We are so homesick, and I think that getting Nate home will make a world of difference in his recovery. I get a little nervous about the actual travel, but we've been watched over this entire trip, and I know we can count on that to continue. Thanks for all of your continued prayers and support. We can't wait to thank you all in person!
