good news and heart monitors

it's saturday night and we are still trying to recover from wednesday events. i also have a lot more to share since then. thursday nick and i spent the day at st lukes hospital and got the great news that nick was for sure going to be the donor. YAY!!!!!! they said he was a unremarkable match and as healthy as can be. while we were there i got a call from the nurse at owen's cardiologist office and they wanted to see owen as soon as possible. so i took him friday morning to see Dr Ardinger. he is the cardiologist who has been following owen since he was born. he was completely puzzled by what was going on but not surprised given his history. they did an ekg and echo-cardigram which both result were same as always, no changes. the only thing left for him to try was owen wearing a heart monitor for 24hrs. that way he could see if this is something that owens heart may do on a regular basis but owen is to young to know that something is going on that he needs to tell us. owen wore the heart monitor from 10:30am fri to 10:30am sat. he even had to wear it in his sleep. he did so good, he is such a trooper. it had a clock on it and he kept saying "i'm the time keeper". he was ready for it to come off when it was time though, he also kept saying "how much longer do i have" i take the monitor back to hospital monday and the dr said he should have a plan by friday.

i do need to mention what a great sister i have. liv would have been staying at natalie's house this weekend if owen had the surgery and even though he didn't she still said it was okay for her to stay friday night. and she completely spoiled her. took out to eat 3 times, to see Alice in Wonderland 3D, and got her some new clothes and shoes. my kids and adaira (chelsea's daughter) are so lucky to have her. she is the best aunt ever!!!

here is a funny thing owen said. his uncle domo asked him if he liked not having the surgery and he said "yep, i still have kidneys".....he is so stinkin' smart!!!!
