A long day, just killing time until we leave tomorrow. Everything is a go...praying it all goes smoothly tomorrow. I am so anxious to be back home. It's been a long haul, but worth it. Noah is going home minus his NG tube, suction and prolapsed stoma. He has gained a new G tube, J tube, rearranged intestines, a stomach that actually empties, and we have some feeds with fat trickling in those intestines. Alot of good progress, and although we are still very far from being able to say goodbye to TPN, it's a start. We are leaving with much more hope.
A better day for Noah today...the increase in Domperidone seems to be helping the retching and he was more himself today. We decided not to rock the boat and make any changes to his feed today. We will wait until we are settled back in Winnipeg again.
A volunteer hairdresser came by today and gave Noah a haircut...
A before picture from yesterday...
And after...
I couldn't believe how still he sat for her! He looks so different...Ok, I do miss his crazy surfer hair and his curls in the back, although I do think he looks pretty cute...

Bean - great hair. I, too, will miss that crazy hair. I am SO very excited to see that you are finally coming home. God has been so faithful and awesome during this time, even when you were lonely! Like Maroon, I'm praying for safe and easy travels tomorrow! Can't wait to see you. I'll be stopping by on Wednesday morning...I'm kinda teary just thinking about seeing both of you...I have missed you terribly, Nichole. Hugs to my Bean...
So glad you are coming home! Praying for all to go smoothly in your travels tomorrow - see you soon!
