Easter Fun!

We hope everyone had a great Easter! We had a wonderful day! We went to church with my family in the morning. Olivia only made it about half way through the service. After church we went to my grandparents’ house for Easter brunch! It was an awesome meal, as always! The Easter Bunny even made an appearance, and Olivia really enjoyed it. It was like a life-sized stuffed animal, and she enjoyed petting the fur.

Olivia seems to be much more happy and active since her surgery. She is more smiley than ever and loves to babble! She has even been eating better lately. Yesterday she took 29% from the bottle. We are hoping that will continue to get better and better.
She did have another ear infection last week, and her doctor said it was important to get the tubes in as soon as possible because the fluid in her ears is getting worse. I spoke with the ENT nurse yesterday and the surgery scheduler should be calling today to set up her surgery.

Olivia continues to do well with the lower amount of oxygen. She could probably have been turned down at the pulmonologist on Friday, but since we had just turned her oxygen down, he didn’t want to push it. As much as I would like to see the oxygen go, I don’t want to push too hard and cause a setback. They tested her oxygen levels without any oxygen again and she maintained numbers in the 90s. An improvement even from last month!

Enjoy a few pictures of our smiley little lady!

I am happy that she will be getting ear tubes soon. That will cut down hopefully on extra trips to the doctor. Go Olivia taking more and more out of the bottle! She is such a happy smiley cutie pie even with all she has been through. Olivia is stronger than most adults I know. Hope you are also hanging in there!

What great news that Olivia is just doing better and better! I just love her smiles! Glad she enjoyed the Easter Bunny this year, because next year she probably won't want anything to do with it!
