Our family's journey through life

30 days after the sugar rush Holiday I am finally getting to it. Your welcome.We had some of our friends with small children over for a pre-Halloween celebration.The dad's shooting the breeze out on the balcony while us mom's stayed in side keeping the children in line.We munched on mummy pizza'a and ate way to many buckeye's.So many in fact a few days after the the sugar rush holiday I finally made time in my day to day life for the gym but that's another blog post for another day.As you can tell by this picture I snapped of O and his little friend jumping off the couch, Halloween was a jumping good time for all.

This was Owain last year at  Halloween....
I thought he was the cutest little bear to crawl(he wasn't walking yet) the planet.
I think Owain would disagree.
Wondering what costume of torture I will be making Owain where this year.Any guesses?

Back in march when our little warrior was six weeks old and out of the woods we were finally able to bring our baby boy home and be a family. I was so excited! Their were times during his fight against CDH that I was terrified that we would never have this day. I was on cloud nine our baby boy is going home and he is healthy. Since that day my biggest fear was Owian re herniate. I new since he was missing 90% of his left diaphragm that he could very well reherniate. Now my biggest fear might be come a reality. Yesterday after Owain's xray we took a look at them with his surgeon Dr.Zigman. I immediately new something was wrong. I am not an expert but I have seen enough of my son's xray to tell that something was wrong. Dr.Zigman confirmed it when he left the room with the xray to compare to his last xray taken five months ago.He never leaves the room with the xray at any of our other appointments. After a few minutes Dr.Zigman came back with the xray and explained to us " It looks like maybe part of the bowl is either poking through his diaphragm or it's just pushing up on his diaphragm. " I immediately started to panic on the inside. I was trying to remain calm on the outside. I was thinking this is what I have been afraid of! I don't want my baby to have to go through another surgery,be incubated. I have seen so many other CDH babies have to go though another surgery and each time it breaks my heart and now their is a possibility that Owian will be next. I am trying really hard not to freak out here! Dr.Zigman ordered an ultra sound to get a better look. I was ready to go from his office to get the ultra sound but we have to wait until sometime next week! I hate having to wait! Being a Friday and Dr.Zigman didn't see it has being urgent he felt Owian will be okay. Now we just have to play the waiting game.The good news is Owain doesn't seem to be in any pain. He hasn't been showing any signs that he might have re herniated. He is still eating and is his happy self.

On a happy note Owian finally got to meet his god mother Aunt Erin. It was great to finally be able to introduce them. She didn't come empty handed. She brought Owain some really cool toys.That were a big hit! Thanks Aunt Erin!
Later I dressed Owain up and walked him over to his best buddies house. Aren't they cute? Our little bear and pumpkin! Happy Halloween!

As soon as I know more I will let everyone know ASAP. Please keep our little warrior in your prayers. Thank You!
