The morning started at 5:30am. We had cardiology clinic at 7, including his echo and ekg. We moved over to pre-op and then to the cath lab by 11. We still haven't seen Dr R, and are not sure when/if we will today.
Owen was delightful all morning long. We passed on the pre-op medication to make him loopy because he's never needed it in during past caths. My heart broke when he freaked out, and I had to pin him down while they gassed him. It was awful and I hate that it's getting harder the older he gets. I am so sorry buddy. :(
I'll update again as soon as we hear the results and a plan of action. I'm sure Owen will be as miserable as he always is post-cath. He has to lay flat on his back for six hours so that he doesn't bleed out. I can't hold him and console him. I hate that part the most. I requested a big boy bed, so I can climb in and snuggle him. 
I am going to go to the cafeteria and get the biggest slice of chocolate cake I can find and that should make me feel better while I wait. That... and this picture of my little hip hop dude!

Praying for Mr. Owen and you guys! Hope all goes well with the cath.
Anxiously awaiting to hear how things are... I've been thinking about sweet Owen all day. Praying. Praying. Praying. You are amazing.
I may have swiped one of those hospital gowns when we were there cause they were just so dang cute.
Yup, I totally did. And one of the pink elephant ones too...Don't tell.
Next time don't skip the Versed- learned that one the hard way too...
