Friday we went back to the hospital to have Owen’s Doctor, Dr. Cooper, look at his port. He agreed with everyone else that it needs to come out. The Intervention Radiologist came up and looked at it too, and he thinks that he should be able to take it out and put a new one in at the same time. It might be on the other side, but they won’t know until they pull the current one out. So, surgery is scheduled for Monday morning. We have to be there at 9:30am, but are not sure what time they are actually going to do the procedure.
As for the missed chemo from Wednesday, they rescheduled it for this coming Wednesday as long as everything goes ok tomorrow. His Doctor doesn’t want to miss any of his treatments this phase, especially if he is feeling well and doing so good with them. It will just push this phase out an extra week.
The weekend was beautiful!! We had a lot of fun family time. Saturday night we went out to dinner then went up to Mt. Washington to look for the “Super Moon”, but it was too cloudy. It was still fun looking at the city and all of the activity! Today we went hiking at McConnell’s Mill. There is a little trail that goes back to a waterfall that is a perfect hike for the boys. They had so much fun!!

Yay. That is so good to hear. I’ve thought about Owen all weekend.
What a sweet shot of the boys. I’ll be thinking about you guys tomorrow morning!
I really like the pictures especially the one of the boys walking. I’ll be thinking of you this morning and saying a prayer all goes smoothly.
Hope all goes well for Owen today. Great pic. Love the sticks in the hand. It reminds me of when my son was little. Brings on lots of smiles.
Precious!
Such a strong little boy. We admire his courage and pray for him every day. Love, Joanne&Barry
