Another Update On Owen

I had a very good report from Sarah, Owen’s mother just a bit ago. He is feeling a little better today. He is now using the oxygen on the wall and not on the ventalator. If he tolerates the oxygen levels being turned down for 48 hours, they will take off the nasal tube. He is still very weak but thats to be expected. He ate 2 fries, drank 1 1/2 cartons of apple juice and 1 and a half sticks of kit kat. (Sarah says that is not very nutricious but a start!) He will still have some night time feeds through his tube to give him extra nutrition and he  still is being weaned off  of three sedatives. If he does better the earliest he can come home is Monday. He is still having some sadness, tremors, and very bad diahrea as side effects from the strong medications he has been having to take. He might need some rehab and physical therapy because of muscle weakness. This was a very good day though and our little champ is doing fantastic! Thank you for your contiued prayers,messages, love and support.

Amelia tolerating her Ganny

On the home front, I have to report that Amelia and I are getting along much better. She only told me once today to “Go Away!” when her Daddy came downstairs. As long as it is just me and her, and she has to depend on me for everything, I am the best!

I also have to mention that the community and military family here at Andrews Air Force Base has been so tremendously supportive. They have provided dinner every night since I arrived. Promtly at 5 o-clock every afternoon there has been a knock on the door, with a different person standing there with a home cooked meal, cards, and money donated to my son and his family. It is so nice to know that such compassion and comraderie exists in this day. And more often than not, when I ask for the person’s name, they will tell m “Oh, they don’t know me, I just wanted to do something.”Isn’t that just wonderful?

    Crises does bring people together. Glad there is community support. Wonderful news about Owen. And now time for recovery. Even for you. Hang in there my friend, and don’t let that little cutie get the best of you.

    You know Amelia is just responding to the fact that Mommy, Daddy, and Big brother are all gone from her at the moment. Don’t worry, she will realize that Gandy is her go to person soon. I’m so glad to hear the update on Owen.
    As for the community at Andrrws, I know for a fact that Military families stick together. They were here for Rosy last year and even for me.
    We have a lot to thank them for.

    I think it’s wonderful that the community there at Andrews is helping them. I think about how they were a little disappointed a few months ago when Seth didn’t get his transfer to Pensecola, but you know my Seester…God see’s ALL. He already knew that Seth & Sarah would need that support for their family. It is human nature to “question” sometimes why God even allows such a tragedy as what Owen is going through to happen in the first place, but God always has the “perfect” plan in place and while we have a tendency to NOT understand any of it at the time we are going through it, it will all come together in the end when He presents the “whole” picture. So glad that you all have the support of “Force” behind you 🙂 Air Force…very prophectic in itself 🙂
