we are still hanging out children's mercy. we've been here 7 days today. owen isn't getting much better at this point. they have him on an antibiotic but since he is immune suppressed for the new kidney it can be a slow process getting rid of the virus. the virus he got ate away a layer of stomach which is making it impossible for it to absorb or breakdown anything that goes in. so everything comes out as quick as it went in. due to his immune system again it will take a bit for his stomach to rebuild that layer. on a good note he doesn't appear to be in any pain and seems to feel really good. he has some swore spot from sitting on the potty to much. but is being such a brave tropper like always. a few days ago when a new set of doctor came in they look at owen sitting on his potty seat playing with my ipad and said "that's owen? from his chart we expected to see a boy that looked green and was sick in bed. he looks great compared to his chart!!" they still have him on just clears and iv fluid, no real food yet. he seems to be ok with that for now. he has his moments when he sees a food commercial on tv and gets sad that he can't eat. :-( he's lost some weight so they are working on trying to get some food in him. nick and i with the help of our awesome family are running around from here, work and home. we've been taking turns staying the night with owen so one of us can stay at home with the liv and noah. liv had to sleep in her own bed for the start of 2nd grade. it's taking a lot of juggling and not really getting to see each other or all three kids everyday but we are doing it.
my pretty 2nd grader!!!!
owen loving the new toy story kerplunk game ya ya brought him. she comes and sit with him everyday for a few hours so i can go to work. thanks mom!!!
owen loves playing with aunt nat nats ipad. she has been coming at 5:30am to stay with owen after nick leaves for work at 5am. she stays till i get there at 9am after i take noah to the sitters and liv to school. i cant bear the thought of owen being here by himself even if he's just sleeping. thanks natalie!!!
this is the little cutie face i put to bed tonight. gosh i love him!!!!
I don't know how you guys do it all....but you all do and just keep amazing all of us. My prayers are with all of you. Owen looks like he has his aunt Nat Nat's long torso, lucky guy!!! Owen is such a trooper and always surprises us with his will to get better. Keep it up big guy. We all love you and your family so much.
