Birthday Boy

Owen started his birthday at 4am with a case of the pukes. I'm hoping that it's random and not a side effect of the chemo. Owen finally finished his rituximab and his oxygen is back to 80 on 1/2 liter. Let me just say that I'm not looking forward to coming back on the 11th for dose #2. We're waiting for cardiology to show up this morning and discharge us. Is it too much to ask for them to come to work at 5am... we want to go home!
We'll have better birthday pictures later with cake and presents. That's after I take Kamryn to the pediatrician because she's now puking with her nasty fevers and hasn't eating in three days. She's such a trooper and doesn't complain about how she feels on the phone, but instead asks how Owen is feeling. Such a sweet sister... can't wait to give her some mommy cuddles to help make her feel better soon.

Thank you for all your prayers.. hopefully these treatments will work so Owen can get a heart.
