I woke up and I’m still at the hospital. I still have this big thing on my arm that makes my hand not work very good. But I got a little sleep. Even if I did wake Mommy up alot. It’s not much fun to sleep in a hospital with a big thing on your arm and cords stuck to you.

Nathan is out of his surgery and into recovery. He did very well. Other than having lots of post pain and a swollen tongue, he continues to do great! I think he took before and will be taking after pictures... but I am having a hard enough time just posting this note.
