Olivia Is Coming Home


We were told Olivia could go home today, Saturday. It’s just a matter of the highly secretive and enigmatic “Blue Team” writing the orders. Which makes me wonder, does it take long for an entire team to write “Go home” on a sheet of paper?

They took out Olivia’s chest drainage tubes yesterday, which I hear feels like burning. Thank goodness for morphine.



Olivia has been playing peekaboo with herself, grabbing at her toes, and doing a full-body squirm when she gets excited. We’ve been playing a bit and I’ve gotten to hold her a little as well.

Overall, seeing that she’s just had a major surgery and discounting the “smoker’s husk” her voice has going on, she’s doing quite well.

One picture below: Olivia awake with the staples in her chest.

We hope you and family are doing good and we are certainly mindful of you and pray that the Lord's covering continue to watch and guide you through all this trial. Amy, we hope you are doing well :) and we certainly look forward to "SOMEDAY" seeing all of you.
