owen with his breakfast in the PICU
me holding owen his first time out of bed.....he doesn't want anymore pictures taken so he was closing his eyes on purpose (please ignore my greasey hair, it is no longer)
nick seeing owen for the 1st time
owen still tired of taking pics so he still has his eyes closed
owen started having a bad night right around midnight when the pic-line in his neck started leaking every where. so after lots of painful trouble shooting the decided they would just have to stop using it and put in two more standard IVs to take on the loads that the pic-line was doing. this was now about 1-1:30am when me plus 3 nurses were holding him down to try to get these IVs in. it was absolutely awful to wittness this. he was already in so much pain from the surgery and for at least a few hours prior to this his pain meds were leaking out. then we had to hold him down tight. the only sights they could find that were still good were in his hands which left them all taped and boarded only being able to wiggle his finger tips. after he was released from our grips he looked at both hands and said "how am i going to eat". after wiping my tears i said "don't worry baby, i'll feed you". he instantly fell asleep and neither of us woke up till 10:30am when nick came strolling in for a visit.
my mom brought livi up to visit with us today(she was brought her everyday). both of them were smiling the whole time playing with eachother. the nurse was able to take one of the IVs out of owen hand while she was here and owen wanted livi to hug him while she did it....it was so cute!!!!
