Olivia’s 1am Update, Wednesday Morning

Well, we were moved into a room with another patient today. They are generally quiet, which is nice, but of course everyone would like their own room.

We will almost certainly be moved from the PICU to the regular cardiac recovery floor tomorrow. Blood work, x-rays, and how she is handling recovery will determine that. So far, her levels are on the low side of good, but that doesn’t appear to upset the surgeon or the medical staff at all. It’s just a matter of her body working back up to its normal state once again.

Amy was here for quite a while today and Olivia loved it. Amy read to her, sang songs, played with stickers and balloons, and prayed with her before she left for the night. She’ll be back early tomorrow morning while I go to school for my summer class, after which I will resume my bedside position.

A video of Olivia playing with a balloon, obviously feeling better.
