We had another roommate-less night, sleeping as good as is possible in a hospital. Elijah's nurse removed his catheter right away when he woke up this morning and he has been cruising around the room ever since. It makes me squeamish watching him knowing that he just had a pretty big surgery, but it doesn't seem to bother him one bit. His incision looks really good and he hasn't had any tylenol since yesterday at 4:00 p.m. These are both really good things.
The big thing was to see if his bladder would release urine on its own after having the catheter removed. He just gave us a big wet diaper, so all is well! Thank you for the pee prayers! We are all packed up and are waiting for The Voice to come in to sign our discharge papers, as Elijah crawls around the room checking out every single drawer and door within his reach. Have I ever mentioned how much he loves doors, drawers and enclosed places? The above photos are evidence.
We are very anxious to get home. Hopefully The Voice isn't too busy this morning and he is able to stop by soon. Thank you all so so very much for all of the diligent praying you have done for our little boy. It means more to us than you will ever know.
Elijah has crawled over to me and wants to type you a quick thank you message of his own:

YAY!!!
So glad you are going to get to go home! What a relief. Elijah is such a trooper and we are so proud of him (as usual). I just loved the bed head. He will be so embarrassed when he's a teenager!
Love,
Amy, Mitch and Wilson

Love you-- Grammie and Gramps
Home sounds good!
Home Sweet Home... hopefully you are already there getting settled in! He looks great in the pics:0) Isn't it amazing how big surgeries don't really seem to phase these kiddos?!
Can't wait to see pics of him getting into everything at home!
Oh, thanks for the wonderful message Elijah! Big Hugs!!
