a follow up appointment with her GI/Liver specialist last friday. Dr. Lopez was very happy with her progress. She has been putting on weight to the tune of 32 grams a day since her last weight at U of M. He said this rate of gain will allow her to catch up to the appropriate size/weight for her age. Standard weight gain at this point should be 23-30grams a day. He wants to continue to monitor her blood work every couple of weeks to make sure there one no negative changes to her Liver. He wants to see Olivia in Ann Arbor at the U of M transplant clinic in 4-5 weeks. As we found out earlier this week just because she's being seen at the transplant clinc doesn't mean she's due for a transplant. WHEW!!! It's just the easiest way to get to see Dr Lopez. Last Sunday we had a nice dinner with Sara's Mum & Dad for a first of many Mother's days. As usual Sara's mom cooked a wonderful meal.
The company and conversation was also great.
(Jack we missed you we'll stop out and visit Soon.)
Olivia sat at the foot of the table smiling away. Each smile, coo, and cry reminding us how lucky we are to have our precious little girl in our lives. At times her problems attempt to overwhelm and distract us from the priceless gift we have been entrusted with to nurture and love. We just wish that everyone could be as blessed as we are to have such a beacon of hope and happiness warm their hearts. We love you Olivia.
Ben and Sara: Olivia is also blessed to have two such wonderful caring parents. It is your love, dedication and care that is heart warming to see. You both have already faced more than most parents could ever imagine, but with a love, strength and hope that only a strong marriage can endure. I couldn't be more proud of you both and with all that you have to give our little Miss Olivia Anne, she is going to grow up to be a very strong and special person. Love You - Grandma Barbara
