All is Well

We're (finally) back up in the room -- everything went well with the surgery. No more ostomy -- hooray!!

We were in the recovery room for a long time and James is mostly settled, but he seems to still be in a little bit of discomfort -- he'll probably be getting another dose of morphine soon. He's surprisingly active for a kid just out of surgery. He's mostly had his eyes closed, but opened them to say hello to us. He rolled over onto his tummy, which seems like it would be very painful given all the incisions there, but the nurse said that if that's where wants to be, then it isn't hurting him. He's got arm restraints on him ("no no"s) to keep him from pulling out the many tubes he has attached, but they're probably also making it hard for him to get comfortable.

So, long day but a successful outcome.
