In the wee hours of the morning, Owen and I will board a plane to Stanford. Owen has transplant clinic in the afternoon. It was my genius idea to plan an early morning flight and a same day, late night, flight home. I'm still trying to decide whether or not I should pack an overnight bag.. just in case.
Owen has been having chest pain, or "my heart hurts" is what he calls it. It all started last night and we were monitoring him and freaking out a little. My initial reaction was heartburn, so I gave him an early dose of Omeprazole and we gave him a Tums. It didn't work and he continued to whine. All his vitals were perfect and his breathing was normal.
It continued into this morning and cardio advised that it's probably a muscle issue and to give him Advil. So I did.. it didn't help. This afternoon/evening has been much better and he is up and playing a little. I'm wondering if a sternum wire has come loose and it's poking him? Another reason I am glad we are going to be at Stanford tomorrow for cardio testing. It always gives me peace of mind.. or freaks me out. Either way.. I know!
Daddy gave Owen this handsome haircut a couple nights ago.. he looks so grown up each time we cut his hair. We bought the Avenger movie that was released yesterday and have watched it about a million times so far!! Love my Superhero loving boy.
On Monday, Owen and I got our craft on. Owen helped me paint these little blocks and modge podge the scrapbook paper to them. I did the vinyl letters and he helped with the embellishments. I can't take credit for this project as it was last year's Super Saturday craft at church and I missed out. All the stuff came in a kit for me to paint and assemble. My kind of craft!!
Tomorrow will be a crazy busy day, but I will post something at the airport in the evening I'm sure. Can you believe Owen has been listed for FIVE weeks now?? That is 35 days on the transplant list.. time is cruising by!

I've been meaning to call you! Will you ask around at LPCH, you know, in all your spare time, and see how we would go about getting Braden to meet Dr Hanley. This coming Feb will be his 10th anniversary of his OHS, and he really wants to meet Hanley. I just don't know, do I make an appointment at his office, go to the CVICU for a tour or what. Anyways, if you get a helpful social worker or nurse let me know! Thanks and GOOD LUCK!
Safe travels!
(I vote "yes" for an overnight bag; then you won't need it!)
Good luck<3
have a safe trip to both of you...praying for good results.
Take care!
oh nice crafty projects!
Have a safe travel and I'm thinking about you guys today.
How about 1/2 an overnight bag. You know the drill, it's only when you don't have it that you need it.
Prayers for a quick visit and no more hurting heart.
Love Daddy's barbershop skills.
