Our Little Trooper Is Out of Surgery

Our 2-and-a-half-month-old grandson Nathan is now out of recovery and resting comfortably with mom Jamie and dad Doug in an overnight hospital room after some surgery early this afternoon. The little guy is a real trooper and took it well.

We hope this does it with hospitals for a while; young Nathan has had more than his share already in his young life. In the pic below, taken mid last week, Nathan is enjoying the company of his friend, Sylvester the elephant.





It was almost a shame for the little guy to have to go back in the hospital environment after he spent more than a month in the neonatal ward following his 6-weeks premature birth. However, the stomach wall double surgery that was required was very necessary and, in reality, is quite commonly needed among preemie babies.

We are thankful to God that Nathan apparently has made it through just fine and that he will be home by tomorrow afternoon and back in familiar surroundings. Get well quickly, little guy!
