Well, Owen seems to be completely over the RSV. Unfortunately we had to delay surgery because of it, so now surgery is scheduled for April 14th. We are meeting his surgeon next week, so hopefully we will have a lot more knowledge about what exactly will be happening. We are very anxious for the next month to get over with, and will be keeping Owen in a bubble so he doesn't get sick again. Hopefully, this terrible cold and flu season is almost over!
I haven't had a ton of free time lately, so I haven't been keeping up here so just a couple other things. First, thanks to all of you that offered to donate blood. It's great to know that we have family and friends willing to do this. Unfortunately we will not be able to do directed blood donation. I talked to a few mom's who have been through this before, and they all said the same thing: they make it almost impossible to direct blood donations in Milwaukee. So, we encourage you all to donate blood anyway. It may not go to Owen, but it will be given to someone in need.
Second, I've taken up crochet. I find it very therapeutic because it keeps my mind and hands busy. I am keeping busy making Owen hats and leg warmers, and am thinking that someday soon, I may just turn it into a real part time job, but we will see. Also, because Owen has been on the receiving end, I am going to start making blankets for Project Linus. I've decided to try donate one blanket every other month, or more often if I have time. So, I know some of you are crafty, I challenge you to help me out, and start donating too. Let me know if you are interested, or just check out their website: www.projectlinus.org
