day 2....crabby boy

today has been an interesting day here with owen. they thought that he might be going home today but he is having a hard time getting comfortable with changing the pain meds to one that he can go home on. he is very very crabby and rightfully so, the only thing i can do is to find it comical. he really has been having me running around here like a nut to try to make him happy. he wants me to do something then 2 seconds later he doesn't want me to and changes his mind again. then he wants something to eat, then he doesn't, then he does and i half to go look in the hall for it and i come back and he's sleeping and he wakes up and makes me do it again. all i can do is laugh at it. today he really hasn't had much of an appetite like they would like him to have and hasn't been drinking near as much water as he normally would but still is getting a good amount of urine out put.
nick's mom brought noah up to see us this morning after she dropped liv off at school. it was so cute when he came in he couldn't stop waving hi to owen. it was so nice to see him, nick and i miss him and liv so much. plus nick's mom really needed to see how owen was doing with her own eyes.
this is a very cute and very thoughtful cookie bouquet owen got for nick's aunt janet, uncle dwight & cousin's derek and megan. the cookie in back says "speedy recovery". thank you very much guys!!! i know when his belly is feeling better he will really enjoy it. (and livi too)
he also got some stuffed animals today. the royals bear is from nick's mom and noah. the soft big monkey came with angela and megan from the salon when they visited. he also got a stuffed cow (not pictured) from my mom, chelsea and adaira. thanks you so much everyone!!!
he probably slept for about 4-5 hours straight this afternoon. while he was sleeping the dr. came and said he would have to stay over night and try to go home again tomorrow. he hasn't really tolerated sitting up to well and needs to be able to walk around before he can leave. at about 7:30pm he woke up and starting acting a little bit more like himself and wanted to sit up and eat. he had a little bit more than 1/2 of banana and about 10 tater tots. he was smiling and playing with adaira in his bed. i'm going to keep my fingers crossed that he stays comfortable all night and can get up to walk in morning so we can be home by the evening.
thanks again for all the prayers and good thoughts!!! he really is doing so great!!!!
always

  1. poor little guy:( so wanted to see him today, but something else (crazy) came up---looks like it turned out ok. Ms. Nicole and I are planning on coming over in the mid morning. If we miss you guys it would mean you got to go home and we would be sad, but very glad :)

  2. Not sure if the nerves from yesterday caught up with me tonight or if it's the Dorito's I ate. (even though I swore off those damn things:-/) But, some of the knots in my stomach went away while I read this one. Missed you today, Love you.

    Russell put Owen on his prayer list at church this weekend, wanted you to know...very sweet.
