Journal entry by Linda McDonough —
Nicks surgery was almost one week ago. The reversal went very well. Nick left the hospital on Sat evening and has been home recovering nicely. He has been very sore and it has been a little slower recovery process than he thought but he is so very grateful for the ostomy bag no longer being on his body. He is healing and making progress every day.
He will go back in a few weeks for his post op check up and his blood work testing will continue for a year or so. He is hoping to get back to school by the end of this week.
He is a remarkable person and we have been so very blessed to be a part of his difficult journey this past year. He has continually shown us how to be tough, strong and grateful. His blessing do not go un-noticed. We have been telling him for sometime that he is marked for great things (no pressure).
Thank you all for your support and prayers during this difficult year. I have no great words of wisdom except that God is good and we all must continue to care for and love one another.
We will keep you posted on Nicks progress. Look for him to change the WORLD!! (no pressure!!!)
