It has been a little over a year since Owen started his Halo journey. Owen is doing amazing with physical therapy and occupational therapy. Owen also suffered from hearing loss due to the Chemotherapy, we are now going to start using a hearing amplifier along with speech therapy to help Owen learn the sounds that are hard for him to hear. He also is seeing a dental specialist for his teeth that were affected by radiation and chemotherapy. This is an addition to all of his regular check ups for Oncology, neurology, orthopedic specialist, and primary care.
Even with all of the different specialists Owen is handling everything like the warrior he is. Never complains about having to go to another hospital or another doctor visit and doing more tests. He keeps a smile on his face and tackles each challenge one step at a time.
With all of Owen’s appointments and needing to be at Mayo Clinic, we made the decision to move closer to his Care Team. After 3 years of living in hotels for months at a time and Furnished homes, it is an amazing feeling to have a place to call home again. It was not an easy decision to move away from our family, but we felt this would be the most beneficial decision for Owen.
We are starting all over with furniture and basic everyday essential items, we also have car repairs needing to be done from driving 106 miles multiple times a month to Mayo Clinic and back. Any little bit of help would be such a blessing to help us get back on our feet.
We can not thank our lord and all of our supporters enough for all of the help along the way and are so blessed to come this far. It would not have been possible without all the love, support and prayers from everyone.
