Looking a Little Better!

Olivia seems to be doing a little better today. All of her cultures have been negative so far so they decided to stop the Tamaflu and one of the antibiotics. She also had a bath today, and boy did she need it! She was one stinky little girl! During her bath, she decided she didn’t want her IV anymore and pulled it right out. The good news is that they started feeds so the doctors didn’t think it was necessary to put in another IV at this point! She is so much happier now that she can use both arms! They continue to try to wean her oxygen, but haven’t made a great deal of progress thus far. The GI doctor that Olivia was supposed to see today is hopefully just going to come up to see her since her clinic is just two floors away and Olivia was her last appointment of the day. They are working on getting the Family Care Conference set up, but it probably won’t happen for a couple of days. As long as it actually happens before we go home, we’ll be happy!

I am so happy to hear this news. It must have been great to smell that sweet after bath smell on Olivia. I pray that she continues to get better and that your family care conference can get set up. Poor thing! Just take it easy and shout to us if you need anything!
