Cardio Update

Just had an EKG this week and there weren't any changes! We prepared for an echo as well but Owen didn't get one. Whew! Keeping a 16month old still for a few minutes is challenging enough for the EKG, let alone 30+minutes for the echo. Guess when our next appointment is? (for cardiology) MAY!!! 6 months out! Wow! We have been going monthly or every other month since we found out about Owen's heart when I was 5 months pregnant. Of course we have many other appointments but this was AWESOME!!!

Owen's Stats-
(For his biggest fans)
Weight- 23# 8ounces
Length- 30inches
Words- BOMB, MOM, POP, BOTTOM, HAT, HOT, RA, BLU
Favorite activities- Pushing his train around, wrestling, pointing (when asked) where is the clock, outside, birds, turkeys, horses, fan, etc. He will also hold up his hand and feet when asked and sniff his nose when we ask where his nose is. He has been giving high 5's for a while, but is more and more consistent with his pointing to objects. It is so fun to communicate!
Favorite foods- water, goldfish, chips

Love this boy! He is doing so well! Still has OT once a week, and will start Speech Therapy twice a month soon. GI appointment next week. A shoutout to Baby Evan, Owen's best friend. He is still going through chemo, his second round finishes up right after Christmas. He may be having surgery later this Winter to remove his tumor. He is growing, and walking, and all over the place. Owen plays with him like nothing is going on. Evan is such a stud!! Love him!
