Liv has had a great week. On Monday we went down to 3 liters and she did well, so the doctors decided today to try 2.5 liters. So, far she has done OK. We will see how the next couple of days go. Her oxygen support has been in the 30s. For right now, it seems she is liking less pressure.

Since Olivia is a big girl, we have been introducing more things for her to interact with. So she has:

• Tummy time with her boppy
• A mirror and contrast cards to look at
• Some cute rattles
• A swing and and a chair that she can be in

She enjoys most of them, lol. Still getting used to a rattle.

We have good news on the poop front! The prune juice is working. Since Monday, Liv has been able to poop without glycerin. We are so excited for her.

On Monday, Olivia had her monthly echo. It still shows a small PDA and small PFO, but no hypertension. Those should both eventually close on their own.

Lil’ Liv’s Numbers:

• Age: 4 mos + 15 days
• Adjusted Age: 5 weeks
• Weight: 9lbs and 6.8oz – Yep, you read that right!
• Length(Updated on Sundays): 20.4 in or 52 cm

Until next time…
