All is well

December 30, 2007

So many of y’all have emailed and asked me about Olivia that I wanted to post one last update and a huge thank you for all your prayers and concerns.

If all goes well, Olivia should be able to go home on Tuesday or Wednesday. Her CT scans and hearing tests have all come back with very good results and the antibiotics have successfully fought the bacterial infection.

The biggest concern at this point is getting her strength back. She lost some muscle tone due to the illness, so they need to work on getting her strength back.

But, she’s already proved she’s a fighter. Which, if y’all knew how stubborn her daddy is, wouldn’t surprise any of y’all one bit.

Thanks again for all the prayers and know that they were answered in a mighty way.

If that good news doesn’t make you a believer, then nothing will. I am typing and crying at the same time. I am so happy for your friends and that precious baby! Thanks for keeping us posted.
