Olivia’s morning update: Last night was rough; she was up at least every hour whimpering. She just had her 2nd breathing therapy of the day. Apparently there is fluid build-up in her lungs (could lead to pneumonia), so they are trying to break it up a bit.
She has had two cartons of juice and a glass of water. Confession: I cheated last night and gave her a few sips from a sponge before it was ordered from a physician. That's because she hadn't had anything to eat or drink since 5am that morning. They provide miniature sponges on a stick to brush your teeth, so I brushed hers, then got a new sponge for her to take a few sips of water. I did this several times throughout the night but made sure it was enough to moisten her mouth and lips without sitting in her stomach and making her nauseous.
