Biopsy #8

We are back at LPCH this morning for Biopsy #8. Owen had a great morning and was a total goofball.  He was chatting up all the nurses.. showing off his back hair which rivals that of Wolverine. 
He feels 'at home' here so it makes the whole process so much easier.  I walked him to the cath lab, no pre-med (Versed) necessary, and he went right to sleep with his mask.  Flavor of choice?  Strawberry, Cherry, Bubblegum cocktail.
Everything went perfectly... his pressures and function are fantastic and he's getting his post op echo right now in the PACU (recovery unit).  We will be discharged here soon and off to the cafeteria for some food... we have a hungry boy!  Then to the SSU (Short Stay Unit) for his long evening of infusions.
Hoping for great biopsy results tomorrow and I'll get the updates on his antibody results from his last infusions.  I'll post again from the SSU in a bit... is it too much to hope for a private room?! :)
