Owen’s Leukemia – Days 129-131

Happy Easter!  What a beautiful holiday weekend.  Jeff had the day off on Friday so we spent it running around doing errands.

Saturday, Jeff ran in a race at North Park in the morning. He is training for the Pittsburgh half marathon at the beginning of May, so he thought he would do a little warm up practice race of 8 miles to get him in the racing mood.  He did great!  It was a beautiful morning for a run.  His parents, me and the boys went to watch and cheer him on.  After the race we headed to Nanny and Poppy’s for the Easter Egg Hunt!  Owen and Logan had so much fun playing with all of their cousins. Here is shortly after the end of the hunt.

Owen was doing good until around dinner time.  I noticed his cheeks were really red, but didn’t think too much of it.  After dinner, he was complaining that his heart was beating fast.  I checked and he had gone into SVT.  I tried having him blow throw a straw, cough, but nothing was working.  It wasn’t until I held him upside down in a head stand that it went back to normal.  Not sure why it came about, but it was good we got his heart back into the normal rhythm.

This morning he woke up and his belly was a bit upset.  He has been sick on and off all day today.  The medicine didn’t seem to help.  When he wasn’t being sick he seemed fine.  He had a great time when Nana and Pap Pap came to visit.  He also got a nice long nap this afternoon, which was much needed.  Hopefully his belly calms down soon…

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!!
