Happy Birthday!! December 10, 2013

Owen is 3 months old today!! It is amazing the progress he has made. He has come so far in three months and gone through so much. 

His echo results came back NORMAL!! This is great news! He was taken off of his heart medication and will have to be monitored closely for a couple of weeks and a follow up echo before we go home but he is on a good path.

His heart rate still drops while he eats but has gotten a little better with the medication and should continue to get better as he gets more coordinated and has more stamina.

Today Owen had a photo shoot with the Children's Miracle Network, he was chosen to be a miracle baby, which he is!! He will get to participate in their radio-thons, telethons and other fundraisers they do for the rest of his life. The equipment in the NICU that helped saved Owens life was paid for by donations through CMN. We are very grateful for the Children's Miracle Network!!

On Friday, Owen is scheduled for surgery to fix his hernias and possibly his eyes. He will have an eye exam tomorrow to determine if they need to do the eye surgery along with the hernia repair.
