Family Time

We had the best four days together as a family!  If only it could have lasted a little longer.  Owen is feeling so much better and isolation has been lifted.  He still has a sniffle in the morning but so much better.  His labs looks wonderful this week and we are just waiting.  He just hit his SIX month anniversary on the transplant list.  Time just marches on.  

We spent a lot of time hanging out at the hospital with Owen but I got away with my other littles and some one on one time with Carson.  We ate out way too much but found some new places to eat. Logi kept us busy with his constant need to "walka walka" and he insisted on the big fluffy Elmo toy in the gift shop.  Kam and I got mani/pedis.  Carson and I got to talk and run a few errands together.  Owen got time with everyone!!

I can't say enough how much I love my family and the hardest part of this journey is being apart.  We can do this. 

Saying goodbye was hard!!  Today was quiet again and I miss the commotion.  I wore my Christmas leggings and watched Gilmore Girls while Owen fought ninjas on his iPad.  We snuck in a little math homework.  We had several visitors and that helped pass the time.  The days are SO long in the hospital but the weeks seem to pass by quickly.  

It's almost December!  For those that wanted to send Christmas Cards to Owen I'll post the address here and again tomorrow.  He has an entire blank wall to post all the cards.  It would be fun if you included your favorite Christmas tradition in there and tell us where you are from!  We would love some more Christmas Cheer!!
