Home Sweet Home. Today was Owen's first full day home and it's no coincidence it was probably his best yet. He was able to spend a lot of time with not only his immediate family but also his aunt Amanda and cousins Chloe, Andre and Diego. They drove down from Northern California on Thursday to provide their love and support to Owen and the fam.
Owen has resumed many of his favorite activities today such as eating full meals, playing on the ipad/iphone, and reading books. He could also be found playing with one of his new toys which was kindly gifted by the Jeremy and Aimee Cooper family. It is one of those long plastic devices with a handle and lever on one end and two suction cups at the other end which come together when the lever is pulled. I think the Coopers' intention was that Owen could retrieve things like toys off the ground without bending down. However, Andrew saw it as an opportunity to put him right back to work. Subsequently, Owen could be found most of the night pushing his little walker around the neighborhood retrieving trash with his new plastic-picker-upper! (just kidding of course)
Anyway, O-Man continues to make progress everyday and could not ask for a better recovery.
