"Failed Sedation" that is how it is stated on the hospital forms. All drugged up for nothing, Owen had an MRI last Monday and they were unable to get the images. Labored breathing, elevated heart rate and a little boy that wouldn't stay still... After three attempts to get the image they called it quits and brought him back to recovery. So tomorrow we are off to CHOP again this week (Tuesday's visit was for a pentam and a flush) to visit general anesthesia for a second attempt. There they will be able to give Owen a different combination of drugs and instead of inserting tubes in his nostrils to help with breathing, they will be able to insert a 
breathing tube. If the MRI results show that the tumors have remained stable, Owen will be able to continue his stretch of no chemo!! The difference in him just over the past few weeks has been amazing...eating, constantly on the go, chatty and silly... 
In other news...we were able to finally get a few days of skiing in over Spring Break...the first time Owen has been further than 2 hours away in a year. I'm working on a new computer so once I figure out how to upload my pictures I will post some from the trip. Hope everyone had a nice holiday!
