Olivia Dennis, Monday afternoon
on November 20, 2006 @ 06:17 PM

After looking at last night’s blood work, the doctors determined that Olivia was having an allergic reaction to her antibiotic. Yesterday she continued spitting up, had red blotches all over her skin, and was still a little fussy. After switching her meds this morning, she seems to be doing a little better. She’s still spitting up today, and is pretty fussy, but there isn’t a skin irritation and she’s eating better.

Our doctor decided that rather than waiting for the Ann Arbor doc to do the VCUG, he’s going to have that ordered today, so hopefully we’ll be able to get that done within the next few days.

Along with last night’s blood work, they started a blood culture to make sure there isn’t any bacteria in the blood again. The cultures are checked at 24, 36, and 48 hours. We should have the first results later this evening.

I’ve posted a few pictures from this past weekend, when she was feeling well. She giggled and laughed at mom’s goofy faces while hanging out in her swing on Friday morning. There’s also a picture of her getting geared up for the BIG game on Saturday… she was HIGHLY disappointed in the outcome, just like her grandpa Dave.

    Hi Pumpkin! I was happy to see that you felt good enough to help me cheer for Michigan during the game. And yes I was disappointed in the outcome. But I soon realized it is just a game. (please don’t share that bit of information with Grandma, OK?) What you are going through is much more important and you are always in my thoughts. Can’t wait to have you home and feeling 100% like Olivia. Love your smile in those pictures, lights up my heart!

    Lots of Love….Grandpa
