Day two: Olivia is doing better today, Crystal was discharged and we all checked into the Ronald McDonald house.
Crystal and Justus talked to Olivia's surgeon and the surgery has been put off, for maybe up to a week, it seems because Olivia is doing well on her own they want her to have some extra time to get stronger. What awesome news! We should know by tomorrow after all the doctors have their big meeting exactly what the plan is. Olivia's breathing tube was removed and Crystal was able to visit and hold her twice today and is with her again now. Something truely amazing happened today, while Crystal was holding Olivia her oxygen saturation actually went UP! It is so amazing, she knows her mommy and in all of this chaos mommy brings her comfort.
Because Olivia is doing better and the surgery has been put off Baa and Papa decided to head back home to the desert and come back again next week. The San Diego traffic and motel 6 living was just a little too exciting for them but they were so fun to be with for a couple of days, Kimberly and I will be laughing for weeks as we retell their "adventures". Thank you Jesus for my parents, they absolutely ROCK the house with the love they have always shown for me and my family. Kimberly is catching a ride back home with Baa and Papa so she can work for a couple of days and then she will be back to relieve me for a couple of days, at least that is the plan for now but we have a motto here "cherry jello" sweet and flexable, that's us...
Moving into Ronald McDonald House
So today we moved into our little place at Ronald McDonald House, I have to tell you how amazing this place is. The people here are so sweet and loving, they are aware of the stressful situations these families are going through and boy to they take care of you, it's kind of like going to camp. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided by volenteers,yesterday SouthWest Arilines and today a local church. Nothing fancy but LOADED with love, we were givin little goodies bags for the kids that were made by the kids at a local community center, inside were books and little toys and hand written notes of encouragement. Believe me, I have been brought to tears more than once by the love showen here. Sooo, go ahead, buy those bergers and fries! and don't for get to drop your change in the bucket for RMcHouse!!! Tomorrow Justus has to go to work for a little and Papa Erik is coming for a visit so we will take the kids and explore around here and Crystal will love on her baby, and we will Thank and Praise God for all he is doing. I also thank all of you for your wonderful love and support and most especially your prayers, we so appreciate you.
