Thank you for all the love and well wishes for Sebastian's family. The mood was somber on the unit this morning and everyone that asked how I was doing got a few tears as a response. Everyone sends their love to Grey and Liz. I set up a Plumfund account for them today because the last thing they need to worry about is how to get their baby home to Oregon. Here is the link for those that have asked.

Owen had another pretty great day... a busy one. After we drew labs, we had early rounds and then back to back visits from our social worker, psychologist, child life and physical therapy. Owen has been a trooper stuck in a small hospital room for the past 8 weeks. The one thing he has struggled with is dressing changes of the PICC line. Allison (Child Life) brought a doll with a PICC line and Owen practiced doing the process. Lauren (Psych) is going to spend an hour with him tomorrow morning working on some different coping methods. He has plenty of resources available to him and so we might as well use them. Aside from dressing changes, he tolerates everything pretty well.
We played Monopoly (the real game) and Owen had me bankrupt in less than 2 hours. We read the last book in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series... the boy is getting plenty of summer reading done. The days are long but we keep busy. Tonight he took a bath and begged his nurse to let him do the "ice bucket challenge" which he was met with a "no way!"
Back home.. Kam sent me this video of Logi tonight. Owen and I watched it about a million times and talked about how much we missed HOME.
Kam is loving her week at Med school!!! I'll share more tomorrow after her last day of camp is complete. Her favorite so far is surgery.. she has pretty steady hands and is super precise. If only I convince her to go into plastics. ;)
Carson is working his tail off as it's the busiest months of the year for him. He is balancing work and home and I am so proud of him. He has been my rock and I look forward to our nightly chats. We can do this... the sacrifice of being apart will be worth it. Praying for a heart...

((Hugs)) glad that Owen is making use of the resources available to him.
Technology is wonderful and I'm so happy that you're able to stay connected with your family members at home.
#prayersup🙏🏻❤️
I've seen a make shift ice bucket challenge. He holds a big piece of paper saying his name age and how he's waiting for a heart and can't do the real thing and then he dumps a bucket of confetti on his head instead. Maybe that would work for him.
