Olivia Dennis, Sunday Noon Update ...posted by mom
on November 12, 2006 @ 11:08 AM

Since Olivia’s sodium and potassium levels are a little off, the doc’s decided to limit how much she eats during the day. They cut her intake quite a bit; she’s allowed less than half of what she normally eats. As you can imagine, she’s not happy. She’s been screaming most of the time she’s awake-she kept Matt up really late last night. The doctors decided to do some blood work to check on her potassium and sodium levels today, rather than tomorrow because she’s so unhappy.. we are waiting for the results on that. Hopefully, her levels have worked themselves out and we won’t have to restrict her eating again today. Over the past three days, Olivia has been awake only a few hours. She’s been through so much and we think it’s all catching up with her. She’s so tired and she needs so much rest so she can keep getting better. Toward the end of next week, Matt & I will decide with the doc’s where Olivia will get the rest of her treatment. Maybe the last two weeks or so of antibiotics will be done at home, by a nurse who visits the condo. This isn’t anything we have to decide right now, just another thing we’re talking about with doc’s…

    Just me again…. I hope you all are doing well. We can’t believe how big Olivia looks already! Maybe you should stop her growth until we see her! I’ve been thinking about you guys a lot, but haven’t called because I want you to rest as much as possible. I’ll probably give you a call at the beginning of the week though.

    Let me know if I need to make you Thanksgiving dinner, I can have it overnighted in one of those thermal bags! Love you and miss you tons! xoxo

    Hi Matt, AJ & Olivia, Love those pictures!! Olivia is so precious! We continue to think of all of you daily hoping that today is a good day with good news. Keep in mind the reduced calls and visits don’t mean we’re not thinking of you and wishing you the best, just that we know all of you need your rest too. We pray for healing for Olivia and strength and courage for all of you. Love you!

    Hi Olivia, ( and aj and matt)

    I hope that you get as much rest as you need to get better. You’re so popular!! Matt and AJ, you guys take care of yourself too because Olivia is going to need you to be healthy and strong when she gets well enough to bust out of that hospital. Love you all and cannot stop thinking about you. xoxoxo

    Good Morning Adrienne & Olivia: I’m sure it’s already been a busy morning for you, I miss your smiling faces. Everyone here at court has asked about the progress and send their prayers, good thoughts and hopes for a speedy recovery. They want you to know Olivia – YOU’RE ADORABLE. Our verse for the day is one my grandma gave to me – Joshua 1:9 – Be strong and of good courage, be not afraid for the Lord thy God is with thee, wherever you might go. ( I know you’re in good hands). Love you all very much.
