When Sara and I came back and said 'Hi Olivia' she slightly raised her eyebrows and we could see a slit of eye under those tiny little lids. It's amazing how she responds to our voice even while still sedated. I just can't imagine not having someone she knows by her side while she is in the Hospital. There seem to be too many kids here that don't have family around them all the time. It can't be healthy for them to be 'abandoned' like that. I understand that life must go on (work, other kids, etc) but they know if you are there or not, even at this age.
We were also quickly reminded how fragile these little ones are. The bed next to Olivia is now empty...... if our worst thoughts are confirmed our thoughts go out to her family.... so sad.
such wonderful news. We are keeping all of you in our prayers. Olivia couldn't have any better parents than you!! Diane and Tom Klecker
ReplyDeleteSuch good news for you all!! And I'm smiling right along with you! But hopefully the empty bed beside Olivia's does not mean bad news. They are fragile but oh so strong too.

How awesome! I check here constantly for updates. :-) Yes, they are tiny and seem so fragile, but their little bodies can be so tough too. At that age, they spring back from things so fast. You watch, in no time she'll be running all over the place getting into everything. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe sooner she can scoop cat litter the better :)
ReplyDeleteI agree... they are fragile but much more resilient than you'd ever guess. And it doesn't hurt that's she's got such wonderful parents. I'm so glad to hear she's doing well.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad they were ablt to close her chess.. We had a similiar situation where they had to close the ward because of another baby. It is so heartbreaking even when it is not your baby. It sounds like she will be out of the CICU unit soon and be in the step down unit. Yahoo!

Keep it up lil Olivia, although I have yet to meet you I already admire your will to survive and fight, this battle would knock the socks off any grown person,
ReplyDeleteI will keep praying for you and look forward to the day I get to see your smiling face when I visit Mom & Dad at work. Thanks Dr.Ben for the card for Eli it ment so much and I can't thank you enough for coming over to help me say goodby,so soon after Lil Olivia was born on that snowy morning, It meant alot to me to be at home with him. I can volunteer to help at the clinic if you need on each friday let me know.
