Spooky Eyes

Owen continues to be pumped with immunoglobulin. His only reactions so far is that he gets sweaty and his eyes look something aweful! It looks like somone pushed them into his head! They are sunk into his skull and they have DARK circles around them... this is not from lack of sleeping. The cardiologists were so afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle the amount of fluid they have to put into his veins SO they used IV diuretics to get the fluid off. He was REALLY negative this morning ... I'm pretty sure I raised a few red flags yesterday when I said he was PEEING an aweful lot! They believed me this morning when they saw his scary, monster eyes (ok... they're not that bad!)
They stopped the IV diuretics and he's suppsed to start looking more like Mr. Owen soon. But before he does... he had to make a monster face to go with his spooky eyes.

We're hoping that Mr. Owen will behave himself tonight and tomorrow morning so that we can go home. We'll be back before next weeks end for more treatments, needles and hopefully (once again) our own bathroom!

He is so stinking cute, I bet he has everybody wrapped around his little finger. Sending lots of prayers your way.

Man, he has to be the happiest little kid. It was good to see you and Owen last night. We're praying you'll be bustin' out of there soon.

Praying for your sanity my friend. I am so glad that the cath went well and should get him more time without troubles until that angel heart comes to him! I am so gald to see that he is smiling through some of this! Lindsay gets her labs drawn on Monday so hopefully the next dose of Rituxin will follow assuming that her CD20's are back up. Thinking of all of you just about every minute of the day. Love and heart hugs to you!

Even though you think he has spooky eyes, he is still the cutest and happiest little boy...

They should just put a little note on the door and keep your room handy for you. Cutest little mosser (monster) I have ever seen.

What a sweetheart! - Even with dark eyes and tubes!I hope you get out of there soon - I can't imaging having to spend so much time away from home (unless it was on a tropical island somewhere, which is nowhere close to where you are). I am so sorry you are having to go through all this. You are in our thoughts and prayers every day.
