We've spent the day laying in bed. Owen just wanted to cuddle. He flopped his leg over my arm, put his cheek up against mine, and we listened to music on the laptop for a few hours. I loved it. Now we are downstairs working on some puzzles.... he can speed through them nowadays.
My little guy is so smart. So funny. So cuddly.
I know that he will feel better one day. He will be active and playful. He probably won't want to cuddle me for hours anymore.
I read of other kiddos his age, running around, getting into trouble. I sometimes wish he would just get into a little trouble!
His health has been weighing on my heart lately.
I just want him to feel good enough to play.

Andrea, I am sorry. I wish he was well enough to play too. Maybe it's the changing season that has him feeling less energetic & he'll perk up soon...fingers crossed.
Love you guys!
I would love to read about Owen getting into some "trouble". He continues to be in my prayers.
Andrea, I understand how you are feeling. I was watching another little girl today who was Rebekah's age. Watching her crawl, climb, and pull up on the table. Watching Rebekah sit...just sit. And while I was thankful that she is now sitting, I was also wishing for more. The day will come. Mr. Owen will be up and running and playing and you will be wishing he would slow down long enough for a cuddle. :) He is just the cutest little guy. We talk about him all the time - all our friends and family probably think we know him in real life, and I feel like we do! :)
Thinking of you and praying for you often,
Nancy
I hope little mister Owen feels better really quick and regains his energy. Did they change any of his meds when you were at Stanford? I remember you saying they were weaning him off Viagra or something?
just a thought.
Enjoy those sweet cuddles :)
Hoping Owen gets his energy back soon - it must be tough for him with the heat over there. Those amazing cuddles are certainly a silver lining in the cloud that is CHD, but I know how hard it is to see all the other kids tearing around, while your child just has to sit and watch. One day though, your little Owen will be charging around - just like my Charlie is now. I hardly recognise Charlie now - I had never realised how much he couldn't do, until he started doing it. (And just to reassure you... I still get loads of cuddles - even though he runs around in between them!) Hang in there - your little boy is a miracle, and we think of you all every day. X
Oh, Andrea, his little heart breaks my heart. I'm so glad you had a nice cuddle time with your little man, but I will pray hard for the day to come soon that he will be running and getting into so much trouble. And with that smile of his, I know he'll get out of anything that comes his way! Praying for Owen and your sweet family. Love, Kerri
Owen and your family continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. I love your blog and read it everyday.
Praying for Owen and your family! I can't imagine how hard this must be, but you are a strong and devoted mother and Owen is so fortunate for that!! God has a plan for Owen!! You just have to trust Him!!
