Once again, I am humbled by the unbelievable support of our friends, family and community. Today was the replenishment blood drive for Owen at the Pine Community Center and we had 72 people show up to donate!! It was a really GREAT turnout! All of the volunteers that helped today were such a huge help. And I can’t even begin to tell you how wonderful the MOMs Club that I am a part of is. The members all donated items to put together gift baskets that were auctioned off at the end of the day. They also made homemade cookies and brownies. It was such a nice added treat for the donors. My friends that organized this event went so far above and beyond, and our family is so incredibly grateful. I completely enjoyed the day getting to see lots of people that I haven’t see in a while. Thank you so much to everyone that donated, volunteered, or helped out in any way.
Back on the home front, Owen got to spend the day with Nanny and two of his cousins. He had a really good day today and was feeling well. I came home and gave him some hats that my very talented friend knitted for him, and he loved them.
He must have been pretty worn out because he fell asleep before dinner, got up to eat, then went right back to bed.

Yay! I am so glad he liked them and they fit! It was an awesome day!
Hi guys. Just wanted to let you know you are in our thoughts and prayers. I feel owen’s pain. I am available any time to chat. We have dealt w/the low potassium issues. Every time I walk into the ED I get 3 bags myself. It is a very common issue. No worries. It will be ok. Jake sends his love!. We can’t wait to visit w/Owen. Let us know when he’s up for it. We are not at stepping stones right now as I go through some harsh treatment. Trying to cut down on the colds and flu, so we are germ free! Enjoy the new yr.
Renee….. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. Owen is such a brave little guy. He is lucky to have such amazing parents with him at his side. I admire how brave you are too. You have always been a strong person. I wish I could be there to help out some way. Love ya!
