Still recovering.

We are so happy and feel so blessed with Olivia's recovery. She is currently trying to adjust to life outside the intensive care unit. It's been stressful not only for Olivia but for Dajana and I as well. There are two patients to each room and Olivia's roommate cried all night creating a chain reaction. We're trying to ween her off some of the pain meds but its proving to be a bit of a slower process than we originally thought. Our little "junky" seems to like the drugs a little too much :) They're giving her very little doses but after last night she needed a "fix" badly. Just a few minutes ago one of the nurses came to check on Livi and began talking to her in the usual "baby-voice" that most adults use. After a few minutes of blank stares from Olivia, the nurse retreated and said "Oh yeah, she's stoned." We all laughed. She's now closing her eyes to sleep, with no doubt the smooth melodies of Jimmy Hendrix swirling in her head. Anyway, Olivia's biggest challenge now is getting her lungs clear and dry so she can go home. She seems to be doing better each day so please continue to pray for us. We could not have made it this far without your prayers and support. We love you all.
