We didn't take too many pictures this time around because the photographer was running behind schedule and Owen wasn't totally feeling like a supermodel.
Last night I had some weird stress/panic attack and my heart rate/blood pressure was really high. I found a doctor at Stanford to see me this morning and we are running some labs. I'm going to start on a very low dose blood pressure medicine to help keep things healthy until I can unload a little stress. In the meantime, we are working on eating healthy and doing lots of cardiovascular exercise for Owen's new heart... and mine. ;)
Thank you for the prayers and I am going to ask that you keep Ivy in your prayers today as well. Remember I mentioned they came for a visit the night before last? Well, she was having headaches, really bad headaches and it turns out they were brain bleeds. She is back at LPCH and had brain surgery last night, but she is still bleeding actively. She is on blood thinners for her artificial mitral valve, but they have to get her blood clotting to stop the brain bleeds, but it puts her precious heart at risk. Keep this sweet family in your prayers. https://www.facebook.com/missiontoamillion

He looks like a different kid. So cute!
I would stress out to seeing a loved one balloon up overnight.
Sister Maria Dominga.. he isn't ballooning up at all. :) His cheeks are getting "moonface" from the steroids. There is no stress because it is helping his body adjust to his new heart. GOod things!!
It is very common for adults with arthritis who start prednisolone to have the moon face or chubby cheeks show up as well. It is even more pronounced on heart kiddos because we get so used to them having problems gaining weight and they have bluish lips, darkness under eyes, and don't have that cheeky babyfaced look. That's why we are thrilled to kiss,36 and hug, and squeeze those pink chubby cheeks! Can't wait to get my kisses! Gramma
