Owen had an uneventful IVIG treatment and we made it home about noon on Friday. We took a LONG afternoon nap and it was so needed! Owen hasn't had any side effects this time around and so we are thankful for that. The only red flag I saw this time around was his crummy oxygen saturations that never rose above 76 on 2 liters of oxygen. When he played in bed or got up and walked around, his sats continually dropped into the 50s. I am hopeful that they will find some collaterals to coil off in the cath lab next month. Collaterals are little pop offs that the body creates to try to "fix" the route of blood flow, but they take blood away from where it needs to be going. I'm hoping a little intervention will improve his oxygen saturations, which will in turn, buy him more time until a heart becomes available.
Last night, the kids and I ran to the movie store and rented Home Alone. It was a great way to kick start our holiday movie nights and Owen's belly laughing was priceless. We had a great, relaxing, evening snuggled up in our big cozy bed!
Time to get ready for dance team pictures. Life just keeps us moving along...
