"Normal"

I haven't updated in so long. I've been so busy!
Good News! Owen had his EEG on Wednesday and everything came back perfectly normal. His doctor is worried about the difference in movement between his two legs but we are not going to worry about it right now. Owen will have his MRIs and laser surgery on this coming Tuesday June 4 and we will go from there!  Owen uses one of his legs way more than the other when it comes to supporting himself. For example, in his jumperoo, one leg jumps while the other just hangs there. The doctor said this could be a big deal or it could just be nothing. We are praying that it fixes itself and we can just let that go!

We are so excited that Owen's EEG was completely normal. This is one of the first times that one of Owen's test has come back with only good results :) According to his doctor, he is perfectly on task and developing as he should be and in some cases, faster! We are so blessed.

A kid asked me the other day if Owen fell down and I simply said no and asked why she thought that and she said well he has a booboo on his face... After I explained that it was a birthmark, she said oh ok and changed the subject. Easy as that. It's the innocence of kid's minds that adults need to have. I can't stand the "Whats wrong with your kids face?" questions. Why can't you just ask nicely? If you're curious, just ask me what's on his forehead. I'll gladly tell you. But I'll tell you one thing- NOTHING is wrong with my child's face. His sweet face is just as precious and sweet as anyone without a birthmark and in fact, I think it's sweeter and cuter! Just because on angel kissed my baby on the head shouldn't make you be rude ;)

I don't know if I ever said this on here but I had a man tell me how much he has learned from my blog. He said he used to see a kid with a port wine stain and always wondered what it was but simply let it go because he was scared to ask. He said that thanks to my blog, he knows now and he was so glad he took the time to read it! It was nice to read:) Anyway, I hope you guys are learning something by reading and I'll post more soon!

On a side note, there is a book being written that I think anyone reading my blog would be interested in checking out. The book is about a boy with a port wine stain and is inspired by the author's own son. The book is aimed to educate young children about how everyone is different and unique in their own way. Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/Whatsthatonyourface?fref=ts
If you look very closely on the cover photo, Owen can be found SIX times :) I know he's too young to get excited over it but my excitement probably is enough for both of us!

I know I haven't posted in so long and I should make this one super long to make up for it but I will post more after we get his MRI results next week. Please pray for our sweet boy during his busy busy day on June 4. Thanks everyone:)
