I got to his bed side just after 730. He is tired. The docs were in. The wound is closed with steri strips. Which is awesome! We were told back in sept by a visiting nurse that it would be a gaping hole that would need to heal from the inside out. We were told it would be packed with gauze and we would need to learn how to take it out and re-pack it. Understand that she told us this when we were still gagging about the stoma care. So... It is a HUGE relief that we are NOT dealing with that. He has some gas pain. Some nausea. But nothing that is unexpectedly off the wall. Once they get the nausea and pain controlled... They will have him walking the hall ways to get his system moving. I will keep ya all posted.
