Owen Is Thriving

Sorry we have not updated in a while but things have been extremely busy around here.  Owen did fine in his last procedure and now we wait until the first week of May to know if the latest round of patching worked.  We are not convinced it is going to work but we are still hoping and praying.  The doctor did say that they were able to do what they wanted regarding the patch and if it is ever going to work this would be the one.

With that said, if it does not work they are leaning towards scheduling the "big surgery" when they will open him up and actually try to repair the hole surgically (instead of patching).  We hate the thought of Owen having to go through that but somehow we have to get the hole closed.

Owen is thriving aside from the medical issues.  He can now stand himself up and is very mobile when is is not hooked up to the tube.  He is also starting to get very vocal trying to talk and making a lot of sounds.  The kids all love playing with him and he loves when they pay attention to him.

We pretty much only hook him up to the tube when he is sleeping.  He eats yogurt, baby food, and pudding three times a day.  You can tell he does want to eat something else but he still gets excited when he hears the words food or eat.

We celebrated Owen's second birthday on Easter.  He was not sure what to think of all of the attention but he liked it.
