@ home

at about 5:45pm we got to bring our little man back home. he still has quite a bit pain when he moves and can't really sit up on his own. but he seems so much happier here. he goes back to see the surgeon may 21st. so until then he will have a catheter in the new sight. it is basically going in his belly button to his bladder. i will keep him home from school until then for protection of the sight and because the urine collection bag is almost as big as he is. :-) even once he feels better getting around with it is going to be challenging. today they noticed that he still has bacteria in his urine (very common for him) but with the surgery site and now having just one kidney they are going to treat him for again. no biggie, just on antibiotics for awhile.
owen is snug as a bug in a rug hanging out in our bed watching some of his favorite movies. he ate a jb&j sammo, is getting lots of rest and having me make lots of phone calls for him. he's gotta check in with everyone.
thank you always for all the prayers and good thoughts!! we are so grateful for great family and friends. and we are so happy to be home!!!!
always
