Sorry for no new photos but it has been crazy around here. Now that Owen is home we will hopefully get back to somewhat of a normal routine. Tonight will be Owen's second night at home. He has been such a trooper. Last night was so difficult to eat dinner as a family and have Owen not be able to eat. He is getting his food through the tube but he wants so badly to hold some solid food and feed himself. This morning we got the other kids up early and fed them before getting Owen up and taking him down stairs. At lunch time Melissa puts him down for his nap before feeding Elliot and Iris.
The toughest meal is dinner because we eat as a family. Tonight I sat in the family room on the floor with him and played with toys while the others ate. Owen just kept trying to scoot towards the kitchen door and holding his hands out in that direction. Finally I took him in there and let him sit with the family. Again he is such a trooper. Hopefully the love we are showering him with is letting him know he is here to stay and nobody is leaving him, this is his home.
Now that Owen is home from the hospital it is time to start worrying about paying the medical bills we know are heading our way.
Today Iris had an appointment with her opthamalogist and he was excited with how well she is doing. She is to a point where she can identify things she is looking at so the doctors can make a better determination of what and how much she can see. However, to add to our financial worries due to medical bills, he wants to schedule her for another surgery. The surgery will be to correct the cross-eye and nystagmus (eyes dance around). Doctor wants to correct these issues before summer so she has a few months before school starts to get used to it.
Thanks to our friends and church for providing meals. This is such a blessing and removes an item from our to do list right now. Thank you!!!
