Great grandmothers - March 19, 2014

Monday Owen went to see his doctor again. Check up was good! He is 10lbs!! We are going to keep him on oxygen at night since he is having periodic breathing while napping in the day, which makes his oxygen saturations go down. Hopefully this is something he will grow out of soon. 

Owen got to try rice cereal Monday for the first time. He didn't spit it out, so I would call that a success!! We will continue to give it to him twice a day to get him used to eating with a spoon. 

We will be heading back to the doctors Monday for another follow up.

Great Grandma Charlebois never got to meet Owen, but did get to see many photos of him before she passed in February.

6 months old!! - March 10, 2014

Wow, can't believe Owen is already 6 months old!! I would love to say that time has flown, well it's been the longest, most emotional 6 months of our lives. We are so blessed to be where we are at right now and to have the strength, support and prayers to get us here as well as the strongest little man I have ever met.

This morning we went to the doctors and Owen is 9lbs 12oz!!! We are trying to take his oxygen off during the day and keep it on at night. Today he did pretty well with it except his oxygen saturations would drop when he napped. Hopefully he willl just need a couple of days to figure it out and get stronger. I think that it wore him out today having no assistance of oxygen. 

Please pray that he will be successful getting off of oxygen.

Hernia? What hernia? - March 4, 2014

Today we went to see the surgeon that repaired Owens hernia while he was in the hospital. A few weeks ago we saw him and he thought that Owen had a reoccurring hernia and wanted to see him again, which is why we went today. Well the appointment went great! The doctor said everything looked great and that it appears that his reoccurring hernia is not there. Apparently after surgery sometimes there can be fluid that could resemble a hernia, well that was what happened to Owen and it has cleared up now! We are so excited, this is a surgery that we do not have to worry about anymore!!

Owen has been off of caffeine for a week now (to help with his breathing). He has taken the week to adjust, a little struggle to eat and I think some withdrawls like anyone would have to a caffeine addiction. His respitories have been great and he is eating good and back to his normal self. Next Monday we go back to his pediatrition to talk about starting to ween his oxygen!!

Happy boy
