Day 16- comfort at last!

Today is a day filled with business so you are going to get the itinerary for mom and Owen today:

7:00 am- mom got up and got ready for the day after her first night on the cot. It still needed a memory foam but was well worth the switch

8:00 am- Owen woke up and got ready for his day. He prefers to stay sitting in bed for a bit so mom got his school stuff together and he relaxed for half hour.

9:00 am- After Owen had a hearty breakfast of Captain Crunch he was off to school. And mom met nana and papa outside. She managed to get Eco Medical to fit her in to assess Owens charger since it wouldn't charge his chair and had CAT teeth marks in it.
Off to Smittys for mom and grandparents for breakfast and awesome conversation.

10:00- Owen had OT and papa took mom to fix the charger. Turns out the whole thing was shot so we got a new charger. Yay! And it was no cost.

11:00- Off to Home Depot,Michaels and Walmart to get foam, a mini fridge and several other items. Owen continued to do his routine while mom was out and even managed to con the nurses to warm up ravioli instead of hospital food for lunch.

1:00- Owen went back to school for an hour(yep only 2 hours of school per day.)

1:30- mom, nana and papa returned to the hospital with all the awesome stuff and nana and papa gave mom her present.. a beautiful shirt, manicure set and bath stuff! Nice! Costed papa 8$ for 2 hours of parking. CRAZY!

2:00- Owen went swimming for physio and got to full weight bear on his affected leg. He even got to walk a bit which really excited him. The social worker came to meet mom and offer services and managed to find us an awesome room for the weekend at the Ramada for only 70$ each night!

3:00- Off to get new orthotics made. That is the picture that looks like a cast. It is a mold of his foot they use to make the orthotics. He picked a blue swirly pattern. He also thoroughly annoyed all of us lol. Afterward owen got his present from nana and papa. Clay with all the tools! He loved it.

4:00- we all walked over to Moxies. Guess what Owen had lol. And it was half price wine night. Nice! Nana had a rice bowl and papa and mom had enchiladas.
Then we went for hot fudge sundaes again and Owen took a milkshake home.

When we returned back to the unit we relaxed and played several awesome games of Blokus. We had such a great day. A day in the life of Owen is very very busy.
