Scars (Cardio Update)

A whole week has gone by.   We are enjoying our summer break and the kids are getting their lazy on.  I have big ambitions of organizing closets and sorting through toys but motivation has been tough.   We saw our first triple digit temps this week followed by an evening thunderstorm last night.  Owen had labs twice this week and a cardiology appointment yesterday.  His echo looks the same, maybe a touch better, but not worse.  He is up to 19.6 kilos (43lbs) and gaining!!!  His scars look amazing.  The little dots on his chest are from the broviac line and stitches.  The giant scar on his neck is from the ECMO cannulas and his sternal scar is from being opened up four times.  He loves all his "battle wounds" as he calls them.  I just booked out trip to Stanford for biopsy and transplant clinic with Rosenthal for July 1st.  Everything so far looks promising and I just know this perfect heart is going to recover and shock us all!

My kids are so chill and want to just spend their days kicking it around the house.  Playing games, reading books, watching movies.. they are such homebodies!  We did venture out for Owen's labs, I had dental work done, we went to the mall one day, Owen had his cardio visit, Livvy turned 6 so we celebrated with her, and we have been busy around the house. 

All the time at home is good for Logi and he has not only been rolling all around, he is now sitting up by himself.  He still needs a little help with balance, but he's got it figured out.  Such a happy baby!

Daddy is busy at work and we seriously need a date night out.  It is our 16th wedding anniversary in a couple weeks .. how is that even possible?  Summertime is easy and I am not counting down the days until my kids are back in school.  I am loving having them home all day, no morning rush out the door and afternoon naps with the boys.  Life is good.

Have a wonderful weekend!  Get outside and make some memories.  Then go HERE and share with me what you did and you will be entered to win $100 Walmart Gift Card!
