We had a little Christmas miracle happen yesterday. Olivia was having so much trouble getting down to a reasonable rate on her oxygen. Every time they went to turn it down, her oxygen saturations would drop and they would turn it back up. Yesterday morning, she finally turned that corner. She was able to get off the high flow oxygen and go to "regular" oxygen. She tolerated the weaning process and by the afternoon she was back to her orignal 1/2 liter that we are on at home. So, now she was able to eat - no problems whatsoever! Her labs came back with low blood counts, so they gave her some blood to bulk her up a bit. We were discharged at 9:30 last night! We stayed in Dunlap as part of our discharge orders so we would be close, just in case. She was able to celebrate her first Christmas outside of the hospital! Jack and Brooklyn were so excited to see her. As you can see, she is already tuckered out from all the excitement! This was definitely the best Christmas present we could have asked for! Have a very Merry Christmas - I know we will!

Yeah Olivia!!! Hopefully you are all settle back in Macomb, enjoying a little peace and quiet!! We won't stop praying for your precious girl!
Julie-
I love all of your pictures. I was wondering what kind of camera you have, if there's anything you don't like about it, or if there is any other camera I should look into. I want something that will capture a moving target (Ava) and is fast.
