Owen: "Mooooommmm... will you come scoop my cheek?"
Me: "I'm sure you can swallow whatever is in there."
Owen: "I can't!"
WOW!! I know my boy likes popcorn kernals, but this is a little much.
I am almost finished packing. Daddy hasn't even started yet. Men always wait til the last minute and can throw a few things in a duffle and call it good. Sigh. I have to plan for every medical catastrophy that probably would never occur, but just to be ready. Gtube replacement kits, gauze, extra oxygen tubing, plenty of oxygen tanks, pulse ox, oxygen stickies, blender, syringes, gtube extensions, medications, syringes... the list is endless. I keep a mental note and it gets easier each time we travel.
Carson has a massive knot in the middle of his back and after seeing the chriopractor yesterday and a good massage, it is still giving him fits. He will take the heating pad and ice pack in the car with us and I've convinced him it's okay, that I am excited to drive the full 12 hour drive. I'm a nice wife like that. I also have a hidden agenda in that he has to feed Owen every 90 minutes and keep him entertained in the back seat. :)
We are going to miss Kam for a few days, but she will be having so much fun at the beach, that she won't even miss us. Her packing priorities were iPod, DS, and swimsuit. What else does a girl need at the beach? So long are the days of pails and shovels.
I will be updating a lot this week. We have several 'heart' friends at LPCH right now and we are so excited to visit with them. We also hope to see my bro and sis in law. Owen's favorite part of any trip is the different hotel rooms with their cable tv and free breakfasts.
Prayers for a safe trip.

Prayers sent your way. You are amazing remembering all those details for packing!! I have to actually write a list or I will forget something ! Ha!
Been thinking about you guys and will for sure be keeping you all in my prayers!!
Holy cow on the popcorn kernals. He must have been practicing his inner chipmunk and seeing how much he could store in his cheek. LOL!!
Maybe grab Carson a couple of those heated sticky things that don't get hot until you open the package and stick them on - one less cord to trip over & he can wear them during the day while at the hospital!! Safe travels - we're praying for some certainty!!
hope your trip and cath go smoothly. 8 caths.. he's amazing. I hope you get great results, I'll pray for that sweet boy of yours.. I'm in awe of our babies, they are strong beyond words! He'll do great! Hope you do too..:) x0
