Catching Up

Where did I leave off?  I should really be better at updating and lack of time is not an excuse.  We have nothing but time while in here.  I suppose I just feel like there isn't much to say.  Owen is hanging in there...his labs are stable and his echo is unchanged (stiff and low EF).  So we wait...  and have as much fun as we can.  

Today was the last day is school before break.  They did a lot of crafts this week. He built a pirate ship with engineers from the new hospital, they made winter crafts on Thursday and Art today.  He may not be learning too much but he is loving school.  Look at "Cutie" the penguin he made... 

They did chalk art today and last week. 

His ELF, Emperor Moriarty, returned on he 10th and has been very mishevious but for some reason hasn't moved in 24 hours.  I told Owen he must be VeRy tired.  (Fail)

We get some school work done in his room and venture out a couple times a day.  Owen has been on the hunt for the best chicken wings and so far Round Table had the spiciest.

As far as visitors, the 49ers came this week and there was cupcake decorating.  

Owen has no idea one sport team from the next, it's just not his thing.  So he smiled and watched the super fans get their autographs on.

He is a Star Wars super fan so he was thrilled when the entire crew came to visit.  They handed out inflatable light sabers and he battled nurses.  We made Yoda puppets and R2D2 crafts.  

Each day I get a ton of packages and cards at the RMH.  The packages are mostly from Amazon because I have everything shipped here for Christmas.  Owen is loving all the cards!!!!!  His card wall is getting so full!  He reads every single card and I show him where everyone is from.  Y'all are killing me with your dog cards..."seems like everyone has a dog BUT me!"  Says the boy who REALLY wants a dog and a mom who doesn't love animals.  Maybe a service dog...

We are staying healthy and time is cruising right along.  Our fam will be here next week and I'm sure Santa will make an appearance sometime as well.  Owens hospital room is such a happy place!  We are really making the most of the situation.  A heart will come.
