Quick update...

Olivia had an okay day. Lots of ups and downs, but when I left tonight, she was doing really well. She even gave a couple of smiles which we hadn't seen in a while. Her fever didn't go above 102.5 today and was as low as 99. She is still laboring quite a bit to breathe and they have her on 3 liters of oxygen. She was able to eat a little bit more today and actually took about 6 ounces of Pedialyte and kept it down. Up until then, she wasn't keeping much of anything down.
Zac went home to be with the kids and my mom is taking the night shift. We had my great grandma's funeral service today which was so simple and nice. So, it's been an emotionally exhausting day. I was throwing a bit of a pity party for myself all day because of all that's going on, but then I read a devotional that our pastor's wife dropped off today. It put everything in to perspective and everything started to make sense. I said a little prayer and within the next hour, that's when we started seeing smiles and Olivia took her bottle. It's amazing how fast God can work and how he knows exactly what we need, isn't it? We'll keep you posted and please pray for a better day tomorrow!
