Surgery's now two weeks out and Olivia's "house arrest" officially begins. She had her farewell tour to the public - visiting such fave places as Target, Costco, the mall and Chik-Fil-A. She got to see a bunch of the extended family over the weekend and now it's time to be extra cautious. If any adult has been on a flight as of late we are asking for them to stay away from her for 48-72 hours just to make sure there's no germies to avoid. If you have school age children or children in day care, Liv will see you once she's on her road to recovery because we can't take any chances that she gets sick pre-op for her best odds of a speedy recovery.
Of course, Murphy's Law being what it is, today its doom and gloom outside so my midge is going to be angry that she can't even go outside and play. The weather forecast looks promising for the rest of the week so hopefully she'll get lots of fresh air with water table action and taking her little baby doll and stroller all around the neighborhood. Aspirin needs to be discontinued on Thursday, I must have it noted in about 5 or 6 different places just to make sure she doesn't get it when she's not supposed to! Grandma's take note in case neither parent reminds you! Other than that, nothing big on the calendar until next week's pre-op workup. I'll make sure to post some new pics soon, I think she's growing weekly, it's surreal.
Wow, so close now! In 2 weeks, you'll be able to say "Look at those pink toes!!! Aren't those pink lips beautiful! Can you believe how high her sats are!" Can't wait to see pics and hear how we'll she's doing. Good luck getting through the next 2 weeks! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis must be part of my mental stumbling block. She only has dusky toes when she's cold and her lips are really pink the vast majority of the time. Things were so much easier going into the Glenn where it was clearly evident that she was struggling to survive. Right now she's a totally normal two year old outwardly with an attitude of a teenager. Thanks for the good luck! I'll make sure to take copious notes and keep everyone updated who will be Fontanning in the next year or two :)
