Day 5

Small improvements again today. Adam was able to walk out to the doorway and into the hall. He didn't get quite as nauseous. The Dr. came and removed the bandage that was over his seutchers. They also started him back on clear liquids. He's had to stand up to use the bathroom now, which is a good thing...gets him moving more. Still is very tired and fatigued. He's had some jello, broth, and water today. Hopefully we'll see more improvements again tomorrow.
Also... the wound ostomy nurse came and showed us how to change his bag. Of course I had to get some pictures of his stoma. I think we are calling it "Roma the Stoma" becuase Adam thinks it looks like a little Roma tomatoe.


This is Adam with his favorite meal for the past few days....ice chips!!


This is "Roma the Stoma". There are some stictches around the outside. You can also see the staples pretty good from his largest incision.
