BM!
The excellent news of late is that Nolan has had a bowel movement (actually, more than one). I believe that when they did the heart surgery, they also dilated some narrowed passage a bit, which seems to have cleared the way for waste to exit the body. This is a Very Good Thing, as it means there is not a blockage that would cause them to have to do another surgery.
Otherwise, Nolan is doing well post-surgery. Yesterday, Kara reports that he was very agitated in the morning but they managed to get him calmed down by the middle of the day. It’s a balancing act with the oygen level, pressure, and drugs, but none of those are at notably high levels at the moment. Clear skies, only very mild turbulence at the moment.
