Biopsy Results

I am so sorry I haven't updated my blog this week. Time just gets away from me and my laptop is on it's last leg. I have great news!! Owen got another ZERO rejection score on his biopsy!!! The entire team is impressed with how fantastic he is doing. In other great news... Owen's last two months of antibody testing have come back with ZERO antibodies!! This means that Owen is responding wonderfully to the IVIG infusions and it is nothing short of a miracle. Owen and his donor heart were meant to be and not a day goes by when we aren't overwhelmed with gratitude for his donor family.

Owen had a great visit at Stanford and his time in the Short Stay Unit was long but effective. We love the short stay nurses and you always see the same smiling faces. Owen said "look who's back in town" referring to himself when the nurses came in to see him and get his infusions started. He showed off his Halloween pictures and then request Child Life be paged for a visit.

We were discharged at 2:30am and headed to the hotel for a few hours of shut eye before packing up and going home. The airport was fun and Owen got his bean fix. He only wants peanuts (shells included), beans, chicken breasts and salsa this week. His appetite is so random, but I oblige. I can't imagine a better date than this!!

Thank you for all the good thoughts and prayers... we appreciate them all!!
