Not much has changed with Miss Olivia since I last wrote, but I’ll try to give as much detail as I can.

She is still cruising, growing her little lungs. Her CO2 has been so good that they have weaned her pressure twice, and she has done well with the adjustment, which is great.

Her feedings have been going well also. They changed it yesterday to where she gets her feed over an hour instead of 75 minutes and she has tolerated that well. That will continue to go down until they get to 30 minutes for her feeds.

She is getting so strong and is as feisty as ever. She is still pooping like a champ, sometimes to the dismay of the nurses.

I have talked about a couple of nurses and respiratory therapists in some of the blogs, but I thought I would shout each of them out in the blogs that are not as long.

First we have Erin. She was our first primary and has become a friend to us already. She is an avid Chargers fan and even has season tickets. She has a special needs cat that she loves and she has a Dickens Village that she sets up for Christmas, just like our family. Our favorite thing about Erin though is how she cares for our Little Olivia. She has been with us almost since the beginning and has been a great advocate for our girl. When we know Erin is on, we have sense of peace that Livy is safe and in good hands. And she is the only one that Olivia has flipped off, haha.

Lil’ Liv’s Numbers:

• 67 days old
• Gestation: 35 weeks and 1 day
• Weight: 3lbs and 14oz

Happy Thanksgiving from our little turkey!

Things we are grateful for:

• Superhero Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, and Doctors
• Amazing family and friends who have supported and loved us beyond anything we could imagine
• A home that we can’t wait to bring Olivia home to

Until next time…
