We got to visit with Olivia for a little while this afternoon. She had the PICC line in today and the nurse said they were able to get it in in about 5 minutes. They did it with the x-ray so they knew exactly where the vein was. Hopefully this will make it easier for them to give her nutrients and her medicine and they won't have to stick her as much. Her blood sugar keeps going up which is great news too. She's still under the lights and the levels are still rising but they are still within an ok range and hopefully will start going down in the next few days. The nurse mentioned that she overheard them saying something about doing Olivia's operation on the 28th but she wasn't sure if that was actually true. We were going to talk to the NP about it but another baby in the room was going to have laser eye surgery so all of the parents had to leave. Hopefully we'll get a chance to talk to them about it later tonight.
The nurse turned the lights off for me for a few minutes so I could see Olivia's cute little face. Her eyebrows are gone now from wearing the eye mask so much but she's still darling. She's got little eyelashes that curl upward and are completely blonde just like mine... poor thing. She also likes to sleep with one arm up next to her head. She looks like she's just chillin most of the time. Olivia gained 2 oz. yesterday and we love how chubby she is.
