Our Thanksgiving will be a memorable one and I will always appreciate the crazy wild family dinners a little more. Owen has been sick with low grade fevers and a sore throat. It just takes it all out of him! So far every culture has come back negative. Blood, strep and the full viral panel... all negative. His throat is feeling better today but he sounds a little nasally and raspy at night. Sigh. We seriously don't go anywhere to get sick...no playrooms, no common rooms. Just school and walk the hallways, always with a mask on and I wipe everything down with the wipes that kill everything! I'm going to start a new reverse isolation so anyone entering Owens room has to wear a mask and gloves. Poor guy has felt crummy!
I did find the tv cart and Xbox One in the hall yesterday and snatched it up. I wiped it all down and he has been loving it! He made me play Minecraft for hours and it's seriously so hard so he got a kick out of whooping me!
I had to order my turkey dinner off Owens menu because the cafeteria closed early and I didn't make it down in time. It was actually pretty good! Owen slept and I ate in silence. It was humbling.
Then my husband and babies showed up and all is right again!! They had a delicious meal with my family before heading to the airport. I just can't get enough smooches from Logi and I miss my family so much! The next few days I am soaking it all in!
I leave at night to snuggle Logi and Kam to sleep and then race back to the hospital to be here for Owen. Carson gets a kiss on the pass off. My heart is torn between all four of them and I feel so lucky that they are mine!!
Owen feels a bit better today and hasn't needed Tylenol in the past 12hrs!
To keep things fun...Logi insisted on wearing Owens flip flops on the wrong feet and outran both Kam and I in the process. This boy is gonna keep me young. My heart is full and we have so much to be grateful for!
Owen is still waiting for the call. We pray nightly for Aly's family and are so grateful to them. Owen prays for his future donor family and knows that each day he waits, that another family is getting one more day. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

So much to be thankful for indeed. Each day is a blessing. You and Owen are so strong, and we pray that the perfect heart comes at the perfect time.
God bless your precious heart and your son, and whole family.
