Cardiology Update

It has been a fun, busy week so far.  Today we had our bi-weekly cardiology clinic, but first we headed down to the lab for a blood draw.  Owen was so tough and just hugged me and said.. "this is gonna hurt..."  No tears.  Just a brave boy and we were outta there.  His echo was over an hour because there was a cardio fellow that was learning how to use the echo machine.  Owen was so patient and watched TV the entire time. 

His clinic appointment couldn't have gone better.  His labs came back perfect.  His AMR (Antibody Mediated Rejection) from his biopsy last week was ZERO!  His cellular rejection has continued to be ZERO!  He is growing a ton.. up to 45lbs and (almost) 44".   Everyone was stopping in to check out his new blushed cheeks... they are rosy all the time.  He loves to listen to his new heart at each visit and always repeats the beat.. "woosh...woosh...woosh...ba bum ba bum."  To say we are grateful would be an understatement.

After clinic we headed back to the RMH for lunch and both crashed for a good hour.  Owen woke up to his weekly Reiki massage at the RMH, which he loves and looks forward to! 

Tonight is my favorite at the RMH.. soup night!!  Owen would disagree with me... he like Tuesday night because it's BINGO night!  Last night he won a giant Star Wars Lego set at Bingo and we stayed up until 10pm building the ship. 

I am so far out of the loop... when do all the new fall tv shows start again?  Owen has me watching Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon whenever we have time for TV.  I figured I'd give him the control over the TV for the next three weeks until we go home because we don't have cable at home.. and never plan to.  I can watch all my shows online... but do you know when they begin??

Many started three days ago...some more start next week. If you get an entertainment magazine on your laptop you can read about them AND watch little clips of the shows. People magazine has the interactive stuff. So glad we talked today and Buddee's rejection was zero from both cells and antibodies. RELIEF! See you Fri. Night!

I love reading how well Owen is doing! Yay!!!!! The fall shows are popping up this week. Survivor started last night, DWTS was Monday and I think pretty much everything else kicks off this Sunday.
