Our family's journey through life

Today Owain had his follow up appointment with his surgeon Dr.Zigman. It has been two weeks since Owain had his second and third surgery. Since we brought him home from the hospital he still had a bandage over his newest warrior scar. I was looking forward to it coming off today! No more sponge baths! Woohoo! Dr.Zigman said it looked great. Our little warrior is healing nicely. In all reality his last surgeries hasn't really slowed him down. Dr.Zigman left his butterfly bandages on they will come off on their own. Hopefully in the bath! Can you tell that I am excited that I no longer need to give Owain a sponge bath?

Starting today we no longer need to give Owain his medication for acid reflex. He has been on it since he was three weeks old. So we will see how he does without it. It would be wonderful if we could eliminate another medication. He will still need to take penicillin until he is three to five years old because of not having a spleen.

We don't need to have another follow up and x ray for another five months. Oh and Owain was weighed today. I am a little discouraged with his weight. Since October he has only gained 2oz.! Our little man only weighs 15lbs 9oz! Dr.Zigman isn't to concerned after all he did just have two major surgeries. Hopefully we can fatten our boy up!

here is a picture of Owain with just his butterfly bandages. What a little warrior!
Now for my daily December picture ....
Today I cared for Owian's best buddy Cian and here is a really cute shot I captured of them giving them nose kisses!
How cute is that?
