Hospital day 6

25 February 2017

EN	AND
20.30u It has been a good day. Not too many "strangers" in the room wanting all sorts of things from Gideon. This did leave room for a visit from a friend of Gideon's and her daddy. At 6am this morning, Gideon already told the night nurse that Sarah was coming and tonight he thanked the Lord God that it was so nice with Sarah. Just before sleeping, Gideon had his first bowel movement after the operation, which is super positive! So the connection to - and the intestines themselves are in the right place and functioning properly. Very special when you hear from the surgeon that they actually had every abdominal organ fixed, turned around and put it back. Nathanael had a quick bite to eat with a friend in Nijmegen and it did him good. Just relaxing outside the hospital. Now I am in the Ronald McDonald house and Nathanael is sleeping with Gideon for a night. That's how we're really holding up well, alternating "broken nights".We remain grateful for everything going so well!	8.30pm It's been a good day.

Just relax and beiing outside the hospital. Now I'm at the Ronald McDonald House and Nathanael is sleeping beside Gideon. We alternate where we sleep so we can have a "night off". This way we can handle it pretty well.We remain grateful that everything is going so well!
11.00u I think it is Saturday already. The ward reception is closed and the corridors are a lot quieter. I thought it was Thursday...Just had a nice ride down the corridor with the wheelchair. You do notice that he tires quickly from sitting upright and getting out for a while, but how he enjoys it. And so do we. Today will be a little quieter with visits from doctors and doctors. Just a bit of a breather.	11.00am I think it's Saturday already. The reception down the hall is closed and it's a lot quieter in the corridors. I thought it was Thursday ...We just went out in the wheelchair. You notice that he is tired quickly of sitting upright and beiing active, but he enjoys it a lot. And we as well. It will be quieter today what with visits from doctors and staff. Now we can take a breath and relax a little.
