Hangin' at the Mott

So we made it to Mott Children's Hospital (I assume they're the Applesauce Mott's -- or related) this afternoon w/o any problems. Olivia travels well, the bumpier the road, the happier she is. Those of you that have been fortunate enough to travel on Michigan's wonderful post-winter roads will know that Olivia loved the ride :) Tire swallowing potholes were avoided, so both Olivia & her parents were happy.

Once we arrived at her room, the poking party picked up right where it left off two weeks ago. In the span of the afternoon/evening she's been visited by no less than 5 doctors, listening, poking, measuring, and drawing labs. 

Everyone seems to be quite happy with her condition-- aside from her jaundice. Even the ICU doctor who resuscitated her dropped by because he saw she'd been admitted. He was happy to see it was not heart related :)

So far her labs have come back pretty much the same as last week's, this in itself makes us feel somewhat better because it indicates her condition hasn't progressed/deteriorated much if at all in the last 5 days. 

The plan is for her procedure (HIDA Scan) to start around 10am tomorrow morning. Hopefully by afternoon, we'll  have some answers, or at least the next step in the diagnostic plan. In the mean time, here's the little peanut sporting her Easter IV line.
