Christmas in the hospital did not disappoint. We had each other and we were surrounded with love. My heart is full of gratitude and I feel so lucky for all we have. It may not be a traditional Christmas but we made it magical.
Christmas Eve started with a breakfast out of the hospital while Owen slept in. We let the kids unwrap presents with Gma Kathy on FaceTime. Carson and I snuck away during nap time to finish up some holiday prep.
I took the kids to the RMH for Christmas Eve dinner. Logan LOVES the RMH!
Logi wasn't thrilled because all he wants to do is 'walka walka' and run around.
We came back to open Christmas Eve Pjs and we called it an early night. Well, Owen went to bed at about 11 and I stayed up LATE being stealth.
Christmas morning started off quiet as Owen and I did our routine...meds, tube feeds, vitals, IV med changes. Carson and the kids ate breakfast at the RMH. Owen patiently waiting to open his presents...
Logan's favorite toy was the wooden maze where you pound the balls through. He moved on to playing with the ELMO box
.
Kam got lots of clothes, gift cards, ECHO Dot, make up and nerdy video games.
Owen for a billion Legos!! This should keep him busy while inpatient.
A glimpse into our day!
Kam, Logi and I went to the RMH to grab lunch and let Logi run wild for a while. The pine trees smelled so good and the weather was perfect and chilly!
We opened gifts from my entire fam and when Logi opened the last gift of the day, he freaked out! We had fun with this batman voice changing mask.
Janesa came down to hang with us for the afternoon and for dinner. We played Suspend, laughed a lot and went outside to fly drones.
This Christmas was wonderful and I already cleaned up and sanitized the room. We missed extended family but FaceTime makes it easier. To all the volunteers at the hospital and RMH, Santas workshop and snowflake station...we have been surrounded with GOOD this season.
Our Savior is born. Merry Christmas!!!!

You all are just awesome - Christmas is where ever you are all together. Next year you all will be back home with Owen's new heart. Safe travel home for your gang
You all are loved - prayers continue Becky in NC
Why can't he wait at home since he is stable?
This wait is sure taking its toll on all of you.
Looks like you guys had a wonderful Christmas!! I wonder how long it'll take for Owen to put together all of those Lego sets..? lol That's an AWESOME amount of Legos. Continued prayers for your sweet boy and for you. You are amazing and you have managed to turn a scary/stressful situation into some pretty awesome memories that Owen will be able to look fondly on, while waiting for his heart. You rock.
