Owen has been doing so well and loves being off the feeding tube for several hours each day. He is thriving when he is off the tube and is turning into a walking machine! He also obviously loves getting to eat from a spoon.
But, last night he had a rough time with coughing and other signs of something bad. We were up most of the night as he did not go very long between bouts with without coughing and crying. About 2:30am we decided he probably has pneumonia again?
He was schedule for a 8:00am video swallow this morning to see if the hole is closed or not. So we decided to wait and just go to that appointment and see what they say.
Melissa just texted me: "He still has the hole and he also has pneumonia". They are now waiting to see his doctor and find out what the plan will be now.
I will update as soon as I hear something. Please pray for this little guy as he has been through so much already. We were feeling so positive with his recovery and he seems to be so excited to finally be getting better. But last night was tough hearing him struggling and knowing he would probably be going back into the hospital.
I know it's incredibly tough to see him so sick & struggling....it's heart breaking. It's tough on you & Melissa and makes you weary. This verse keeps coming to mind as I pray for Owen. SOON he is going to "run and not be weary, walk and not faint." I can see him walking and running and playing....what joy to know God is faithful to that precious precious child.

Remember...."where showers fall most, there the grass is greener."
I am so sorry to hear that Owen is sick again! I can't believe it! I hope he is feeling better and the surgeon has a plan to fix the hole ASAP. Hopefully, the pneumonia will clear up quickly!! I will be praying for all of you!!!
