Settled in at U of M

The three of us have settled into U of M nicely today. Olivia slept the whole way over in the Ambulance with no problems. We've met with the first team of Cardiologists and they are happy with her situation/stability.  Olivia has actually been off oxygen since she got here and has done very well. She is set to have a second Echocardiogram tomorrow morning. She's also set up for an MRI for Tuesday to evaluate her lung blood vessels to allow planning for surgery to start.

UofM has a nice Hotel as a part of the Hospital - we were able to get a room there for at least tonight, and hopefully a few more. Now off to get some sleep in a bed ... first time in 4 days!!!!

  1. Gf has suggested that you talk to the social worker there and you may be able to stay at the Ronald Mc Donald House. As well as look into Childrens Special Health Care and they may cover your meals while out there.

    GF was at Ronald Mc Donald House about 4 months for the first time, and second time a few months as well.

    She said Childrens Special Healthcare might go as far as to put you up in a apartment while you stay there.

    She said you should not actually have to ask, that a social worked should come around to speak with you.

    Good luck.
