Moving on Up

Today was a big day!  A new team is on rotation for the week in the CVICU and on the floor which means a new set of eyes on Mr Owen.  He saw some of his favorite doctors today and he always loves that.  We also moved on back to the 3rd floor a into a big private room.  SpongeBob was already here ready to greet us.  Owen is happy, comfortable and looks good.  

This morning, one of surgeons stopped by in the CVICU.  We are having discussions about mechanical heartware if Owen's organs start showing signs of failure.  Maeda peeked in and asked how Owen was doing and my immediate response was 'fantastic!'  I realize that this is far from an accurate description...but compared to Tuesday...it is fitting.

I'm happy to be back upstairs.  It's almost like we never left to spend the past two months as home.  We are where we are meant to be.  I can't believe we have been here 10 days already.  Owen has been waiting 164 days now...the majority of those status 1A.  Life just moves on and we keep on living in the moment.

Tomorrow we have a ton of lab work due... 
We are missing family.  I bought airline tickets for them to visit soon.  I can't wait to wrap my arms around them all.  Continue the prayers and know that they are being answered.
