Owain the little champ
So everything went well. Owain is a Champ. Apparently it was a pretty trouble free surgery, which took approximately 4.5 hours to complete. Our surgeon told us that there were 2 openings in his patch. One on the medial side and the other on the lateral side. They stitched everything up, added more patch on the medial side and viola! Owain is now a Pirate squared on the inside and a Warrior cubed on the outside.
It is pretty amazing they did all of this with 3 little holes. So now instead of just having a scar that looks like he was attacked by sharks, it now looks like he was attacked by sharks with freakin laser beams attached to their heads. That's what we are going to tell him to tell all the ladies. (not like he is going to need any extra help getting the ladies)
Owain is recovering fine, he definitely is in pain so he has a strict regiment of morphine, which hopefully should go away soon. He is fussy since he has not eaten in over 13 hours, and is having a hard time resting since he has been under for so long.
We are preparing ourselves for a wonderfully comfortable night in the hospital on our sub standard size bed that is "suitable" for 2. I am now off to get some Hot Chocolate for Amber. She is sooooooo excited!

Way to go OWAIN!!! What a warrior you are. You just kicked CDH booty again. So proud of you little man. All our CDH Angels are certainly looking out for you. I know SKYLA is. She loved her balloons you sent her. Thanks little man. Now get better so mum and dad can take you home again.
Kristy, mummy to Angel SKYLA

Raynah and i have prayed for our lil friend Owain every night since we found out that he was going back in. It sounds like the lil warrior did great! We will continue to pray for all of you! Hang in there I know it's hard. Luv ya! Hollie, Ryan and Roo!
I am so happy to hear all went well. He will be fine in no time. Emerson was cut open, repatched, nissan done and g-tube put in and out of the hospital in 6 days and home on only Tylenol and motrin if need. Someone needed to remind her she just had major surgery and jumping was a no no. He is a true Warrior!
