Yesterday Owen had another eye appointment and the Doctor determined that he needs laser surgery to help his
retinas. Good news was they did it right away, bad news is that they had to reintubate him again. At 4pm yesterday the put his breathing tube back it, gave him a paralytic and 2 IV's, then brought him to the procedure room for laser surgery. At 6pm he came out and the doctor said everything went as expected.
Today at noon Owen was finally awake enough to be extubated and he was put on High Flow nasal Cannula. They are being cautious and not going to ween him too fast since they thought that it made his heart rate drop last time.
They started his feeds again through his tube today after they extubated him.
Pray for
-For eye surgery to work correctly
-Getting back down to the lowest oxygen settings
-Feedings to go well
Done with my last surgery now I get to wear my cowboy boots!
Owen is ready to ride, now that he has gotten that (hopefully)last surgery out of the way! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!! He is a tough cowboy!

It feels bad to see an infant having to face surgery. I hope he had enough strength to endure his treatments. A month have passed already, and I wish he's doing better. Get well soon, Owen! Your horse and cowboy shoes are waiting for you!
