Laughing - November 23, 2013

Owen has been been resting and eating over the last couple of days.  He is currently up to 5lbs. 7oz.

He is getting an eye exam tomorrow.

His heart ECHO was read and his ventricle is thankfully getting smaller.  He has been put on a medicine that will bring his heart rate down a little bit.  This will help even more to make the heart less thick.  This can also intensify bronchospasms is he has them.

His liver is now operating at normal levels.  He should be able to come of some medicines because of this.

He is nearly through with his course of antibiotics.

He has started some liquid vitamins.

Owen really loves his pacifier.  We are hoping this transfers over to a bottle!  He has to be down to a certain setting on his cannula before we can try a little bottle.  He is very close!  We are hoping that  sometime early this week we can give him at least one bottle.

Praying for:
  • Bones to grow stronger
  • Lungs to function better
  • Infection to stay away
  • Heart problems to heal
  • No long term effects from the steroids
  • Be willing and able to take a bottle
  • Eyes to grow properly

  1. Isn't it wonderful to hold his little body, up close and personal? You can almost see that love, transfer from a parent to a child, and it is such a blessing.
    Love you
