O's Big Day

monday, october 22nd finally arrived and the day could not have gone any better. owen was amazing! he hardly complained about being hungry before surgery. he took a couple naps and hung out with family. dr. sadove and the nurse took him around noon and said they would be finished in a couple hours. we all headed to the cafeteria, had a nice, relaxing lunch (well, as relaxing as it could have been), and then back to the waiting room where we were able to see him at 2pm. HE'S SO HANDSOME!!! we were blown away by his face. he looks so much like ada. we went to the children's hospital with him and everyone took off. my mom and i stayed with him overnight. again, he was such a trooper. we could not sing enough praises about the entire staff of st. vincent's! now we're home. we're tired, but feeling a bit more at ease.

Lori-
The Whole MOPS family were praying for you and I'm so glad everything went well! Little Owen looks just beautiful! I can hardly believe how peaceful he looks and seemed to be taking it all in stride! What a strong sweet baby! Looking forward to seeing you again in the coming months to MOPS!
With Love,

Hi Fowlers!
I am so glad everything went smoothly with Owen's surgery. I thought of you all day, and in the days leading up to it. and keep praying whenever you all and little Owen come to mind. What an incredible sunrise! That was a gift. Keep us posted on how you are doing. We will keep praying. We miss you....
Love,
Bess
