Remove the Stent

 

Here is the last picture of Nathaniel with his stent. We will NOT miss it. For the past three and a half weeks we have had to irrigate his nose by shooting saline up it with a syringe 3-5 times a day. Every time we did this he would scream and was very hard to console. Towards the end I couldn't do it by myself because he would fight me so much. Chris had to hold his arms and legs while I held his head and shot the syringe. Even doing this he still got pretty stuffed up. I was afraid he wouldn't be able to breathe while he slept or ate. But we all made it through!

Of course his favorite thing at the doctors office was the paper. He actually ripped it, so we pulled a piece off for him from where he ripped. 

When the doctor came and cut out the stent Nathaniel screamed for a good 5 minutes because his nose was raw but after that he was great. He had fun running through the halls on Chris' shoulder. 

Here is a picture of Nathaniel and Chris in front of the hospital. It is a little small so we could get the hospital in and not have them standing in the road.
