Passing Time

Owen has had plenty of good days in a row.  He continues to gain weight appropriately and I think we found his perfect balance of diuretics.  His labs all came back looking pretty good yesterday.  His BNP (heart failure number) is at 4300 which is elevated but great considering. His WBC is increasing slightly but his ANC (Absolute Neutrophil Count) is dropping still.. no idea why.  The hemocrit and hemoglobin is increasing so the increased iron and Epogen shots are doing their job.  Owen's goal in rounds is to have them switch his Epogen injections to IV.. he isn't a fan.

We spend our days playing card games, doing crafts, reading books and watching movies. We wait...

Back home this girl is at Summer Scrubs.  I don't know if I wrote about it, but she was selected as one of twenty four students (out of hundreds of applicants) to be a part of the U of A summer scrubs program.  She spends 7 hours everyday at the downtown campus getting a crash course in Med School.  She is making friends, learning about medicine and enjoying every minute of it.  #myfuturemd

This little guy has been hanging at with his cousins.  Ry, Tate and Connor are having a memorable summer with a toddler around.  These kids are going to be THRILLED to start back to high school in two weeks... they will get a rest from their summer with Logi. :)

Kam took Logi to Costco and sent me this photo of him wearing her Ear Cuff... I think she needs a sister. (not happening)

I'm feeling pretty darn blessed right now.
