Stange heart rhythm - October 12, 2013

Things are moving through Owen's digestive system just fine.  They did x rays to see if there might be an intestinal tear.  At first, the nurse thought there might be.  Then, the radiologist read it and said he didn't see one.  They did one more x ray, this time on his side, to get a different look.  We haven't gotten those results yet.  He has been taken off of milk until he is reevaluated tomorrow.

Eric got to hold Owen again today.  After a couple of hours, he started having some strange heart rhythms.  We put him back in his bed.  It only did it for a little bit.  They stopped some of the nutrients they were giving him that could have caused this and he hasn't done it since.  They also gave him more glucose.  The EKG machine wasn't working today, but they will take another look at it later to see if anything is abnormal.

Otherwise, Owen seems to be plugging right along.

Praying for:


  • Lungs to develop
  • Kidneys to continue functioning
  • Heart rhythms to be fixed or explained
  • Digestive system to function
Where is Owen?
