21 guns

tough friday again. i took owen to the urologist today to discuss the results from the tests last week. i hate to say that it was bad news because i guess it is what they have to do to make things better but it wasn't good, or least it didn't make me feel good just really scared and sad. march 10th owen will have surgery to remove the kidney that isn't working and use part of it to make a tube that will connect his bladder to the outside of his stomach. it will give him a belly button like stoma that will be used to drain his urine thru a catheter. and it will be permanent. the catheter wont stay in all the time and he will still be able to void thru his pee pee but he will have the stoma for rest of his life. it is about a 4-5hr surgery and he will be in the hospital for 2-3 days if he recovers well. the dr still has to get in ok from the kidney dr and kidney surgeon but if i don't hear from him it is on for march 10th. i called nick as soon as i got to the lobby were i get cell service and then cried on the way to the car because i wanted to call my dad :-( when we got in the car green day 21 guns was on the radio and owen was singing word for word....i had no idea he knew that song and it made me laugh and smile, he's good at that!!!

now for some great news!!!! my little bitty man Noah turned ONE on thursday. i can't believe a whole year has gone by. that little guy has brought more love into my life than i ever thought a third child could. i love every second with him and look forward to seeing many many many more years with him. Happy Birthday Noah!!!!! I post pics of him this weekend. oh yeah, he is walking every where!!!!
