Owen’s Story

Site created on November 7, 2020

Welcome to Owen's CaringBridge website. Owen was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma in October 2020, three weeks after his third birthday. Owen is a spunky, sweet, curious three-year old who loves the outdoors, cooking and making things with his amazing mama, and geeking out with his awesome dad. He is going through treatment at Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland, Oregon. We are using this Caring Bridge website to keep family and friends updated in one place.  We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

Journal entry by Jean Iain

Y'all! Today is a big day for this sweet kid!! Today he is FOUR years old!

Last year at this time he was having some tummy issues for his not-yet-diagnosed-cancer so that combined with a global pandemic meant things were pretty low-key for his big day. This year is even more low-key for obvious reasons, but he still got to enjoy some yummies and have a fun time with his mom and dad.

His new chemo meds are dropping his counts and his at-home chemo is currently paused. Next week's infusion may be on hold as well, depending on how things look when they go in. Please continue keeping O in your thoughts and prayers and send him some Happy Birthday vibes!

As always, please visit the GoFundMe to donate and share, as well as Mel's Etsy!
