5 years WOW!!!!




five years ago today my life was forever changed. my little man owen entered this world!!!! June 15, 2005 owen and i shared a special experience, we both had our first surgery. mine was the c-section of course and his was the colostomy bag, and as we all know now it was his 1st of 16 surgeries. we knew before owen was born that he had birth defects and would be sick. we had no idea how severe it would be or how difficult. in a meeting with doctors before owens heart surgery the kidney dr told us that he would need a kidney transplant by age 5. i remember what natalie said when i told her "that means they think he will live to be 5, that's a good thing". during that time it was so hard to see past 5 minutes so the thought of 5 years was completely beyond me. somehow here i sit with 5 years gone by in the blink of an eye. boy was that kidney doctor spot on :-) i cant wait to sit here with 5 more years gone by and see what great young man owen will be!!!
5 things i love about owen

5. his hands....i love when he touches my face
