Many prayers and s going out to you and your family!!
I know what you are going through. My nephew was 3 months premature and he weighed in at 2lbs 2ozs at birth (dropped lower than that at one point) and he was on oxygen and heart moniters for months. He is a bouncy almost 14 month-old and I KNOW Owen can make it through!! He is certainly getting much love and support<3
I'm thinking of you and your family and of course your little baby. Really hope everything works out for you. How are you coping it must be such a shock.
Hippie, I have been following the thread and hoping and praying on a direct line to the powers that be that things will turn out best for your little Owen. We do not know what that "best" may be, or why things happen the way they do, but I just hope you will be strong and stay calm. I feel your pain and your hope and your anxiety. Strength to you and yours and, most of all, to Owen.
Your whole family and especially little Owen are in our prayers and thoughts - that he grows up healthy and strong! Thank God for NICU's! They are amazing places with such amazing people. I'm sure he's getting everything modern medicine can possibly so for him.
Holding the thought of little Owen in my heart, and praying for him, and for his family. Give him some kisses for me. I pray he's home with you soon, and stronger every day.
Owen has had a great couple of days! They turned down his oscillator a bit and he has maintained nice, high oxygen sats of 98-100. We are thrilled! He still has a long road ahead but we are taking baby steps and that is absolutely fine. He has surprised the doctors already with his strength and I have faith he can come through this. There are still a lot of unknowns and lots of tests to wait for until we really know what lies in Owen's future. Thank you so much for your support & encouragement. It really means the world to me and is so helpful.... I've started a website for Owen where I will be posting frequent updates. Feel free to stop by... there are many pictures to see! www.freewebs.com/owentimothy Thank you again for the kind words. I think these prayers are playing a huge role in Owen's progress!!
So glad to hear that Owen is improving. Just looked at the photos, poor little love being linked up to all those machines. But they are doing him good, and hopefully he will soon be off them. Loved the pics of your other children as well.
