Roly Poly...

Olivia had a great night. She is holding her own and has made a little progress. They have tried to work with her ventilator settings with little success, but we'll get there. They turned off her paralytic this morning, but she tried to roll out of bed! Needless to say, it's been turned back on. They have weaned some of her sedation, though. She has also been able to keep her fever down without the use of Tylenol or Motrin! You go, Olivia! Slowly but surely, we're making baby steps. So far, all of the tests that have come back are negative for infection. This is good, but would be nice to find a source to all of this. I'm taking pictures of all of her medicines and ventilator stuff so you have an idea as to what all she is hooked up to. I won't post any pictures of her yet. It's a little too PG-13 to do that! We'll wait until we can see her smiles!
On a lighter note -
I was very concerned about Brooklyn yesterday. I didn't know what she saw, heard, etc... I was off with 911 and Zac got home (beat the ambulance - nice.) Anyway, he wisked her off to the neighbor's (who just happened to be pulling in her driveway at the time) in her p.j.'s and no socks or shoes. The ambulance and firetruck were screaming down the street, sirens, lights, and all. She didn't hear or see a thing. Do you think we should be worried about our future? She is something else. If you don't know Brooklyn, this is a classic example of her sweet, little, ditzy personality, which we love to death!
