7/1/13 – Get that thing off of me!

They extubated Olivia!  Now she does not have to be intubated any longer; she now has two prongs in her nostrils that help her breath if necessary.  It is so nice to see her without the big holder on her face, now she just has a tube under her nose.  She was sleeping when we went to visit her tonight; she woke up a little during the hands on but went right back to sleep.  Breathing on your own is hard work! She was pooped and needed rest; that is okay by me.  I am finding that she loves to do one specific thing to us; she likes to wait until we change her diaper and clean her all up to give a huge poop.  It does not matter how much we move her and pretend to change it and wait… she knows when a fresh diaper is under her.  At least she has a sense of humor ;-).  Her hemoglobin was low so she needed another transfusion today; other than that she is doing well.  This little fighter is going to go all the way.  I thank God every day for such an inspirational little girl.
