this biopsy was considered a surgery which makes #19 for my little owen. you would think that he knows the drill by now and he does to an extent but he still hasn't learned he can't eat right away after it's over. it is so hard to hear our child cry to eat. while he was throwing a fit we got a true sign from my dad.....so owen was crying, crying, crying and nick and i are doing our best to ignore him because we couldn't reason with him and all of a sudden he stops crying and starts saying "i calmed down, im not crying anymore" over and over then says "im not myrtle-ing anymore" (those that knew my dad get that) nick and i stopped in our tracks and asked him to repeat it and he couldn't...kept saying he didnt know what he said. myrtle is a word my dad used daily...i haven't used it since he passed so i know owen doesnt know it. i cried and called my mom, she cried too
owens biopsy came back perfect. the doctor said that nick and i are doing a remarkable job with owen....there is absolutely no sign of rejection. yay!!! owen is also getting close to being on charts for height. he has always been this little dot under the chart. within the next few weeks the doctor is going to change a dose on a med that he said will help him grow even more. so much is looking great for owen's future. we had our meeting with the school district and we think we have decided to keep him at CCVI one more year. we still aren't completely happy with what the independence school district has to offer him. CCVI has great teachers and staff that we are already used to, we completely trust and they love my owen. right now they offer smaller class sizes and facility which are really important to me. i know it is the best choice for him right now. 
the next big thing around here was owens "make a wish" trip to disneyland in california!!!both my boys got haircuts before the california trip.
livi also got a makeover for california....she lost 2 teeth the night before we left :-)
we had the best time. i didn't want it to end. it was so fun to have so much friends and family take the trip with us, it made it that much more special. above is a pic of all of us at goofy's breakfast....nat and dom aren't pictured. nat got a cool new camera before we left so the pics with her were on her camera :-) we were there for six nights. make a wish had a limo take us to the airport. owen and liv thought is was the coolest. i have to say it diffidently is the way to start a vacation. traveling thru the airport with the way security is these days is so stressful with little kids. on the way home they pulled nick to the side with owens meds and said that one of them tested positive for an explosive.....really???? it was his bactrim, an antibiotic. we had two day passes to disneyland and california adventure plus we got this special pass that got us to the front of the line on EVERY ride. it was amazing!!!!! we've been to disneyworld in florida twice with the kids and been ask which one do we like better? it a toss up....i say do both if you can :-) they are so different but still the same.
they all three passed out as soon as we got back to the hotel every night. owen kept saying the whole trip "this is my wish come true" or "i wished for this". in california there were no trips to the hospital, no worrying about kidney function (kinda...you know my brain will always have its thoughts) but you see where i'm going with this....it was just complete family bliss!!!! we will be forever grateful to "make a wish" <3 they truly made owens wishes come true!!!! nick also got to do something really cool, along with dom and nathan, they went deep sea fishing!! nick caught a barracuda!!!
owen got to ride his first roller coaster here. actually he rode 3!!! last time at disney he wasn't tall enough. this time there were only a few rides that he couldn't ride. he got so excited when he was tall enough to ride rides and was the first to get on and the first to get off when they were a little scary. :-) he was such a big brave boy!!!!
owen did get so tired walking. nick and i have notice that his right leg that has always dragged some has been dragging a lot more lately. we have a call in to his orthopedic doctor to see if they are ready to move forward with treatment on it.
we took the kids to the beach and to legoland which were all so much fun but nothing beats getting to see mickey mouse!!!! BeSt TrIp EvEr!!!!!!
