Arriving in Oceanside

We are home. It felt amazing to sleep in our own beds last night.

We had a great time in Oceanside spending time with family. It was exactly what we all needed. It feels like forever ago that we were in the hospital.  I am really hoping we can go a year without needed to be admitted to another hospital, or cath procedure.  Owen had a tough time this go around and he was only there one day. 

On the way to Oceanside, Owen was a little crabby, but getting back to his sweet self.  He loved looking at the back of his Green Goblin toy box at all the "bad guys".  He told us a million times..  "I want this one..and this one.. not this one..."  It seriously kept him busy for hours!

When we arrived in Oceanside, after our 8 hour drive, we were thrilled to reunite with Sis!  We checked into the time share where the rest of the family was staying and got settled in.  Owen was running all around saying 'THIS is the best place ever!!"  He loved the balcony, looking over the harbor and beach.

I ran to the store to stock up our kitchen for the next few days.  Then came back to grill burgers and eat with Gpa Todd and Gma Monica. 

When I finally crashed for the night, I took the time to reflect on Owen's cath results, thought about his future, and I feel at peace with where he is today.  He is doing better than ever!!  The energy that we saw in Owen over the next few days of our trip was insane.  He has never had this amount of energy and stamina.  It was exactly what we needed to see to keep us optimistic and hopeful!!
