Lazy Days

It has been a Lazy weekend for Owen.  We played a lot of Monopoly, Mancala, Spot It, and UNO.  (Thanks Cook Family for the games)  The days have been passing quickly.  Owen worked with his psychologist on Friday and she taught him some meditation therapy to help him zone into his imagination while having procedures done.  For example.. when he plays video games at home and he's so focused on them that he has NO idea that I'm even talking to him or he is just totally ignoring me.  Its the same idea.  We also came up with a reward system and Owen picked the final reward of "Dr Rosenthal spinning in circles for 2 minutes until he is super dizzy during rounds."  Of course he got a kick out of it an agreed to the reward if Owen holds up his end of the bargain.

Life in the hospital is treating us well.  We have very little complaints.  Owen REALLY wants to leave his room and walk down the hall but has been on isolation since his Pseudomonas.  Dr Hollander (another transplant cardio) is on service this week and he said he will talk with infection control tomorrow and see if he can make it happen.  He won't be able to go to play rooms, library or the gym for therapy.. but at least he MIGHT be able to walk down the hall which is kind of a big deal for him.  Pray that this happens please!!

Kam finished up her week of Summer Scrubs and is already signed up for Saturday Scrubs starting in August.  She loves "med school" and is pretty excited she only has two more years of High School and a few years of college before she can start Medical School for real.  At camp she was given the award of "Most Likely to become a Cardiologist."  This girl is going to do great things!

Oh and this little munch is just keeping everyone busy.  Thanks to Connor, Ry, Tate and Larissa for keeping him busy all week while Sister was at camp.  He had a great time and I loved getting daily videos of his sweet little laugh.  I found a pretty amazing deal on airline tickets so I'll be seeing these two VERY soon!!!  I can't wait!

Life is moving right along. I feel like we are finally settled in for the long haul and everything is falling into place in every aspect of our lives.  Everything is going to be okay.  We continue to wait...
