update on Nicholas

We just got back from the hospital not to long ago. We got the information on Nicholas. Although he is by no means out of the woods yet, his condition is not worsening, which is a very good sign. He looks great, is pink, and active. The surgeon came in and had a look at him. He said that at this moment he does not meet any of the criteria that would require surgery. His belly is getting softer, and smaller. Those are good signs. Also, in his X-rays, he is not showing any signs of further stretching, but rather staying stable. The next two days are going to be a tell tale sign of whether or not he will be completely out of the woods. However, from the look of it, it seems that the antibiotics are doing their job, and the surgeon said he has only a mild case of a condition that could be alot worse. Let's all thank God for that.
