Silly Saturday

It has been a very quiet Saturday. We just keep busy to pass the time. The days are SO long.. they feel like an eternity. Owen played legos, watched movies, played iPad and then kicked my butt playing cards.  Nothing new to report and that means it was a great day!  The doctors really want him up out of bed and walking around.. "Where am I going to walk to?  I'm not allowed to leave the room.  Walking in a circle inside my room makes no sense."  Maybe we'll have better luck tomorrow...

Owen is perfectly happy chilling in his hospital bed and doing whatever he wants to do.  He actually requested chips and salsa tonight so I went to grab him some that I know he loves.  He was so excited to eat them but said they tasted gross. He then ordered Lays off the menu and said "These are salty!'  I found him some beef jerky in the vending machine and he actually ate a bite of it.  I don't think we'll make much progress until transplant.  I keep working on trying to get food in his Gtube, but he is nauseated all the time.  I haven't had coronary artery disease so I have no idea how he feels.  I am trying to think of how I felt the first trimester of my pregnancies where food sounds good but you are just too nauseated to eat it.  He is gaining weight (50.4lbs today) and so the TPN and Lipids are doing their job for now.

Most importantly.. he is himself.  He is silly and says the most outrageous things all day long.  Brushing teeth and doing sponge baths is a daily battle, but I ultimately win.  We talk about all the things we can't wait to do when we bust out of here one day... Take a shower,  go to the mall, go outdoors... the simple things in life.

Kam sent me this silly face pic of Logi tonight.  I love that I can facetime and sing him songs.  He loves his mama and I can't wait to get plenty of snuggles in soon.  We've got this!
