so, here's what happened.....

So, today started out just like i thought it would. nick and i scared and nervous, owen upset because he couldn't have his waffle and water for breakfast. we got to the hospital at 9 am, get checked in, aunt nat nat joins us, talked to all the dr.s and said our goodbye and got hugs n kisses. i have to mention how incredibly brave owen was, he looked very nervous but he let the nurse carry him away and didn't cry one bit. so then we are waiting in the surgery waiting room for them to call down and let us know when the surgery has started so we can go get something to eat, it's about 12 at this point and nick and i hadn't ate anything yet to be fair to owen. :-) we finally get a call and they say "owen is fine but dr. gatti (the surgeon) is going to come down to talk to you" so he and the anesthesiologist tell us that they have to cancel the surgery because every time they put owen under his heart instantly starts racing. when they wake him up it goes back to normal. they tried two times, then called his heart dr. he says hes not sure why it would do this he hasn't had any issues with his heart for a couple years. so they try it one more time and it does it again. so now we have an appt. with the heart dr on april 9th to come up with a plan to get him thru these surgeries. and then we'll reschedule and do it all over again :-/ what a strange emotional roller coaster ride of a day.....so glad we are at home tonite and the day is almost over!!!!

two quotes from today: 1st from a dr after reading owens medical history "wow, owen looks so much better in person then he does on paper" and next same dr asked owen who fixes his cool hair and he said "jill does".....for those of you that don't know that's his girlfriend/hair stylist at the salon. it was so sweet of him to say but she cuts it, i styled it today and i got no credit....he really does love jill!!!

thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts today everyone.
