The Tube is Gone

The dialysis tube is gone! 

In two weeks he can go swimming and take baths again!

Monday we spent most of the day at the hospital... including of course monkey.

Miriam went to get lunch with Daddy and returned sound asleep!  I wolfed half my lunch in the hall and then ate the rest later.  We couldn't eat around Nathan as he was beginning to get quite hungry but couldn't have anything of course before surgery at 1pm.

He had a lot of fun playing with this VERY noisy truck.  The surgeon observed that he would not want to have that toy at his house, and I totally agreed.  It had buttons for hammers, jack hammers, and other noisy tools, and was loud.  

Surgery went smoothly, we were able to come home Monday night, and he has been recovering great.  The biggest challenge has been keeping him quiet.  I have no idea how they expect a healthy, energetic two year old to take it easy for a few days.  If they really wanted him to stop climbing things and running around and all that they should have sent me home with a sedative for him!

Today we met with his wonderful kidney specialist... who said that he is doing great and that we don't need to see him again for six months.  I was surprised since we'd been on monthly meetings.  That's a big jump!  But obviously it shows how well he is doing! :)
