doing good!!!

we had a great weekend here at the hughes household. owen is doing great!!! he has gone two days without pain meds. he is still not moving around to much, mainly because the catheter bag is the same size as him and hard for him to carry alone. since he really is walking much it is so cute when he does, it's like he has new legs. :-) he is still sleeping in bed with me because our bed allows the catheter to hang properly below him and i have to admit i'm loving all the mommy/owen time. he has me hold his hand all night and says the sweetest things to me. i just love him so much!!! he goes back to the doctor friday to have the stitches and catheter removed and then back to the kidney center on the 1st.
nick and i had this big date night planned for this saturday before the surgery was scheduled and got to follow thru with our plans thanks to nicks great parents who were able to come to the house and stay with the kids for us. we went to melting pot for a wonderful dinner and then to sprint center to see Cirque Du Soliel.....it was AMAZING!!! it is the 4th one that i've seen and probably my favorite. we had such a great night. it's funny how you can't wait to have a night out without the kids and then all you do is talk about them and miss them.

i need to say thank you to some great friends for bringing us some yummy meals this week.....thank you so much mary jo and whitney!!!! it was so thoughtful and helpful!!!

oh yeah, i almost forgot. owen is going to get to continue going to CCVI next school year and the school is going to give him scholarships to cover the tuition cost. big sigh of relief.....yippee!!!!!
