Update for today: it was busy! Heart stress test, abdominal CT, feeding tube placement, Mom, Dad, and Shawn visiting. Also, Nathaniel got moved back to real food so I just placed a huge Wawa order.
The “no really you are going to communicate with me or I will beat you with a stick” activity has continued.
Nathaniel will get a determination on his transplant intake probably later this week — we’re waiting on cardiology and that’s about it. After that we wait for a liver. We have no idea how long we’ll be waiting and our job is to keep him as healthy as possible until then.
One of the hardest parts? He’s acting like he’s feeling better! He’s awake. He’s starting to eat again. He’s joking with people. He’s got the names of the staff down better than I do! And by the numbers he’s in way way worse shape than he was two weeks ago when he could do none of those things!
