Post-Op Appointment

Today, Owen had his post-operative appointment at Children's Hospital. He had another chest X-ray and an EKG. Results were good for both. He is still retaining some fluid, so needs to continue taking medication a while longer. Owen is energetic and wants to be active, so we have to keep him from doing too much. His next appointment will be April 19th.

Many have asked how large his scar is, so here is a picture showing that:

Here is a picture of him riding his firetruck, one of his favorite activities:

We will probably not be updating this blog very often in the coming weeks, mostly because there isn't a lot of news to report. That's a good thing since it means life is back to normal! Check back after the 19th for another update.
