Quiet Sunday

It has been a quiet Sunday.  Owen pretty much ignores me all day while he plays on his ipad, naps or watches movies.  I get called over when he needs to pee in the urinal or if it's time for meds.  Speaking of pee... there has been good urine output and he is actually fluid negitive tonight.  So ya for that!  His CVP pressures are still pretty elevated at about 16, but it's better than 22.  We did another chest xray today and the right lung looked hazy.  It could be that he was so fluid positive still and it was reflecting that.  Or it could be worsening Pneumonia, but he doesn't have any symptoms of that.  Prayers that the Pneumonia continues to resolve.  He is still listed status 1A... and we wait.

I sit in an old creaky rocking chair that I'm certain is an original from 20 years ago.  I have been catching up on Netflix shows.  Yes.. this is Gossip Girl.. no judgement (XOXO).  I have to do something to pass the time here.  I go to the RMH at around 11pm each night and I'm back here at 6am each morning.  The days continue to be long, but the weeks fly by.  FOUR weeks ago, Owen and I flew to Palo Alto.  How has a month passed already?!
A big shout out to the best Husband and Father!  He has been working and being a single dad while I am away.  Laundry, groceries, cooking (well, a little) and keeping up the house.  He is doing a great job of it all.  I was sorry we couldn't be together today or yesterday.  Yesterday was our 18th Wedding Anniversary... pretty incredible!
Today he did laundry and packed the kids for a week at the lake.  His Sister's family all headed to the lake and let my munchkins tag along.  It will be a fun distraction for all of them!  Carson will be super lonely in our quiet home, but maybe he'll get a good night's sleep. ;)
We are all making the most of the situation right now.  Praying daily that Owen remains stable until his new heart comes.  Tomorrow starts a new week.
