Home...soon?

Things seem to be improving some. It was confirmed this morning that Olivia has rotavirus. That shouldn't keep her from going home unless she doesn't tolerate her feedings. So far she seems to be tolerating them, but we'll have to see how the rest of the day goes. We also got the results from the MRI today. It showed mild hydrocephalus, which is common with achondroplasia. They did call for a neurosurgery consult today. It's not something they are terribly concerned about at this time, but if this should happen again the doctor wants to have an MRI done right away to see if that is what is causing this. It isn't ideal to have to wait for this to happen again, but at least we now have an idea of what may have been causing this. If all goes well today Olivia should be able to go home tonight, but only time will tell. I'll post more as soon as we know more.
