Olivia's RBC (red blood cells) count was low today, so she has been taken off of the feeding tube for now. The nurses told us that she had to be taken off 4 hours before, during, and 4 hours after the blood transfusion. Hopefully, by midnight or a little after, Olivia should be back on the feeding tube according to her nurse. The nurse said that low RBC count is common in preemies, but this will be her 4th blood transfusion. Olivia's little body is using up more RBCs than her body can produce, so she needs a little help. A BIG thank you to all blood donors; you guys are awesome! Please continue to pray for lil' Olivia Jane! Every prayer is so important, and we thank you for each one! We should know something about her eyes, hopefully, by next week. I love you Olivia Jane!
