Today has been a great day for Liv! She no longer has the ventilator and is now on the C-Pap, which helps keep the sacks in her lungs to stay open so that she can breathe on her own! She is doing just that with the C-Pap and moving around a lot too! So much in fact, the nurses had to move her IV to her lil' head.
Olivia Jane is now on a continuous feeding tube and pooping like a big girl! ;) Instead of 1/2cc every hour, they are feeding her 1cc every hour! YAY Liv! Also, the biggest praise of all, right now, is that she has moved up a notch in the NICU. There are different categories in the NICU, such as the "Intensive" area which is where Olivia has been. There is also the "Progressive" area of the NICU, and Olivia is right in the middle of those two areas! Thank you God!
Of course, our emotional roller coaster is not over; we are far from having Liv home. They are estimating her to come home around end of December-first of January, if all goes well. Olivia still has a lot of battles ahead of her, so please, please do not give up on praying for her. God is great, and with your prayers He will heal her and make her well, I just know it! It's called Faith. We love Olivia so much and realize how awesome our God is. He has blessed us with this beautiful little girl, a little too soon but we will get through this as a family. Thank you guys so much for your prayers! I love you Olivia Jane!
