I just wanted to let everyone know that the surgery is set for January 16th at 9:30am Eastern Standard time. We will leave on Tuesday morning early so that we can get to Lexington in time for Owen to be at Shriners for his pre-op testing by 3:30pm. During pre-op he will have blood work and x-rays, then we can enjoy our evening and maybe even swim at our hotel. Drake will be with us for a couple of days in Lexington so he can check in on his brother then he is off to play with his cousins till we get Owen home and settled. Attached is a picture of Owen's first shoe lift from 18 months old, then his first prosthetic from when he was 2 years old, and his latest prosthetic that he received at age 3. What a journey this has been! Each step has gotten us closer to the surgery day. We have traveled all over visiting doctor after doctor seeking the best medical options for Owen. From Baltimore for lengthening, then South Carolina for a second opinion, which then lead us to Scottish Rite in Dallas to explore Rotation Plasty, and now Lexington for amputation....all I can say is WOW the things parents do to give their children the very best! I truly believe in my heart that we are doing the very best for Owen. This surgery will give him all the opportunities for him to succeed in whatever path he chooses. I am excited to see the man that Owen becomes. He has already blessed our lives so much and he is only 3 years old. He has the sweetest personality, is soo loving, has a contagious laugh, and he can even be a little mischievous (don't let those brown eyes fool you...he knows exactly what he is doing). He is our little "O" that we LOVE soo much! Thank you for all your support, love, and prayers through this journey! We are soo glad you have been apart of this and do not know what we would have done without you. I will do my very best to update this site as much as possible while we are in Lexington. From the bottom of our hearts we Thank You!
