Nick got his stitches and staples removed on Monday. His incisions look really good. He has quite the war wounds, his scars go from one side of his bottom to the other, therefor there will be no pictures, for Nicks sake. He also has a good scar on his leg.
Nick has been having a very hard time keeping anything down after eating. He has lost tons of weight, (he didn't have much to lose anyway) Since his first surgery on May 10th he has lost about 30 lbs.
On Tuesday he went to get an ultra sound of his gallbladder. We finally got the results today. Everything looks good. No infection in it, and it is not inflammed. He does have a few gall stones but nothing that warrants another surgery for the time being. THANK GOODNESS. I'm not sure he could handle another surgery right not. They think his stomach issues are triggered from his antibiotics. He is on two really strong ones. His last day on the antibiotics will be on Monday.
On Monday he also gets to start sitting up in his wheelchair for 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in the afternoon. We are very excited about this. Come Monday we will be able to come home in two weeks.
We have to do what they call a sitting protocol. He will work up to sitting longer periods of time. When we come home he will have to lay down in the back of the car on an air mattress. 3 hrs is to long to sit for him in one place. Baby steps, Baby steps.
