A Video From Owen

Owen wanted to make a "Thank You" video today. He is still really breathy and hoarse... partly from the breathing tube and partly due to heart failure. Enjoy...
"Hey Everyone. Thanks for all the prayers and blessings you have given me the past three weeks that I've been in the hospital.. and that you are all saying have good dreams...and that you give me a few more so I can make it through this. Thank you guys... bye."

Sweetest. Boy. Ever. 

Today started off kinda rough.  He wouldn't eat a single thing or sit up in bed.  He felt kinda yuck and I am certain it's due to us stopping his Epi.  We need to see his new baseline and I sure hope this isn't it.  He finally sat up in bed around 4pm and wanted to eat.  He had two strawberry halves and a few pita chips and is back down watching TV some more.  The energy is not there and his little voice is so breathy when he talks.  Dr Rosenthal has been on this weekend so he came in and we chatted.  We'll watch and see but we may have to go back up on some of the cardiac meds (Epi, Dopamine dose) while we wait.  Time will tell.  Until tomorrow.

Thank you Owen. You are such a strong, brave boy and we are praying for you in Scotland. There's always a blog post when I wake up in the morning because we are in a different time zone from you - I always check as soon as I wake up to see how you are doing - praying for you to have continued strength and courage xxx

Lots of love and prayers coming to you from Long Beach! Back in 1956, surviving my BT-shunt was a miracle. My doctor developed a new surgery for me for my correction in 1972. I was born at the right time. So were you. You are my heart Super Hero.
