We are supposed to checkout in one hour and we have no idea where we are going. Sigh.
We are hoping somebody will cancel their reservations at this hotel so we can just stay put. If not, we will jump in the car and be spontaneous! We'll drive down to San Jose by the airport and find a hotel for tonight. I'll drop of my husband and baby girl at the airport first thing in the morning. Sigh.
Then I'll load up the car with the luggage and oxygen tanks and come back up to Palo Alto to check back into the same hotel where we currently reside. Sigh.
I will keep busy while Owen is resting by finally uploading all of our vacation photos and have lots to blog about!
THANK YOU to everyone that has offered meals, assistance, to sit with me at the hospital during Owen's cath and most of all, the prayers!! We are so very blessed to have such great support!!
I am off to finish packing up the room, finishing up the laundry that I left in hotel laundryroom in the basement (hope it's still there) and wait to hear about our next step. Sigh.

I'm so sorry to hear that you have to stay in California. I'll pray that you will be able to go home for Halloween and spend time with family for the Holidays.
We love you and are with you in spirit. Dad, Gigi Monster and I will help take good care of Kamryn.
Larissa and I can cover anything with Carson and Kamryn that you need. We are praying and we know Owen will be in God's hands and will be at the right place and at the right time, with the best of doctors. Give Owen "the tank" a Gramma kiss and hug. Love MOM
Praying for Owen and you all. So sorry for all that's transpired over the past week. I'm grateful Owen is in the place where he can get the best care and hope that the daunting pile of logistics before you gets worked out with housing, etc.
Peace and comfort.

If I lived near California I'd definitely come and help out. I'm kinda on the other side of the continent in NY so I'm not much help haha. I will wish you good luck and pray for Mr. Owen, and the rest of your family. Think of it as special bonding time with Owen and special Daddy/Daughter time for Kamryn and Carson.

I'm sorry too...that you have to stay in CA and send your hubby and daughter back to Phoenix.
We've had to do that...and I don't like it one bit!
Call your case manager at Lucy Packard and just start crying and she'll find you something. RMH was booked like that last time we were there...I hope it clears out soon for you.
I know that we've never met...and I just started following your blog...but, add me to your list...if you need anything, I know some people that know some people (seriously...we've been there...and will help you with whatever you need)
Thinking of you guys, wish I was closer to keep you company or bring you a hot meal. Glad you are in good hands, hoping you can stay put tonight. (((hugs))) to you and Mr. Owen.
i'm just catching up on your posts. please remember we are only a few hour away. if there is anything we can do, please, please tell us! we love you guys!
I've been silently following your blog now for awhile. I live in Palo Alto ... just a short bit from Stanford. If you need anything -- especially late at night when most regular folk are sleeping (I'm regularly up until 2 or 3 am), don't hesitate to ask.
Praying for you all!!!!!!!! Hope you find a place tonight but really hope you can stay put and don't have to move around!
Praying for Owen....he's such alittle fighter and has so many people that love him!
((HUG)) and sigh right with ya....good luck tomorrow with everything.
Oh Andrea,
I am so sorry that this visit did not go as you would have hoped. We will continue to pray for you, Owen and your family but especially now that Owen will gain a little weight so he can stay home with you and you can make it back to the valley for Halloween. As I always tell you, your positive outlook and faith are very inspirational to me as I know it is so difficult. I will definitely be sending prayers your way on Wednesday for Owen's cath and you being there without Carson and Kamryn.
Love, Keisa
I am so sorry that you have to stay in CA. I am praying for you and your family and most def. sweet adorable Mr. Owen! Keep your fears in God's hands, he will guide you through this and you will not be alone in the waiting room because HE will with y'all!!!
Love you sweetie!
I just found this blog and I am so sorry, I have added your button on my blog and we are praying for you all.
God Bless

Praying for your sweet little owen. Praying for ALL of you. My heart just hurts reading what you all are going through. Praying for strength and comfort for everyone in your family.
Darn it. I wish we lived in California and could offer you a place to stay. Even though we've never met in person, we just love you guys and pray often for cute Owen. Hang in there.

Praying for Mr Owen and your family.
Big Sigh from SC! I so feel for you. I promise, if I wasn't across the US, Mary Clare and I would come hang out with you and sweet Owen. They could split some Pediasure and Oxygen! ;) I am certainly praying for all of you. I think the hardest part of Mary Clare's first couple of surgeries was leaving McCanless behind. You know you need to be with your baby, but what about your big baby. So tough! Hang in there! Just think, maybe it is time and maybe soon Owen will have a perfect little heart that will give him more energy than he'll know what to do with!!
I'll certainly be checking in on you every chance I get, so keep us updated!! Love and many, many prayers your way! Love, Kerri
Oh Andrea. Sigh.
So sorry...know that I'm praying for you and your family! I so wished we lived closer and I'd be there to just sit with you. Give Owen big hugs from us and know we all care!!! You've been such great heart mom support to me and so many others...hang in there and stay positive! Everything will turn out just fine. Heart hugs~
wow.. I just got caught up.. SIGH.. So much for you to be dealing with all by yourself! So by now Kamryn and Carson have left.. I hope you're doing okay and got to a hotel okay. That sweet boy and all he has to go through.. We are PRAYING for you! For good weight gain and a good cath.
Does he puke at all on continuous? He's tolerating the pediasure? Can u add a little duocal here and there for extra calories or some little syringes of oils for fats? I know you don't want to do anything that might cause puking tho.. ugh.
I wish I was there! To help or hang out with you! I'll be chcking in very regularly, and thinking about you like crazy. Hope your night and day tomorrow go well and he gets lots of rest so he gains...
