Post Op Day 2 .. Evening Update

Owen continues to rest today.  We are ready to extubate as soon as he is.  His pupils are still really small and he's been falling in and out of sleep most of the day.  His body is resting and recovering from a wild two days.  He wakes up, uses a little moist lemon sponge to suck on and moisturize his mouth.  Then he communicates with us by pointing and us asking him questions.  He watched Wreck it Ralph and drifted off to sleep a few times. 

Daddy and Kam were out and about for a little bit, then we traded off.  Kam and I took a nap at the RMH and then a little walk.  It's about 5:30 and Owen's PO2 levels are a little lower than we'd like which is showing us his lungs are still needing a little support and his body needs more rest.  We are not rushing things but are ready to extubate anytime he is. 

Daddy and Sis went to eat some dinner and rest at the RMH for a bit.  Owen and I are hanging out with George.
I changed Owen's gtube and got some stickies cleaned off his tummy.  He is looking good. :)

He is looking good. Love his color in these pictures. I know you'll feel better when he wakes up more and his PO2 levels are better. Remember, God is finishing his miracle and it is in HIS time not ours. Many people in my church, work and from all over the world are prayer for our little Champ! God has him in His arms!
