Let HIS will be done....


After 3 days being connected to IV fluids & followed very closely by the docs, Olivia's labs and body was able to recover today. Around 11:00 am they told us that we can go home as long as the immunosuppressant level came back within the accepted range. All three of us, within minutes put our coats on, packed everything and started waiting, anxiously staring at that room until 3:00 pm when they confirmed the good news. At that moment you just want to run, never turn your head back like you're being chased and don't want to be caught because you might be "punished" again haha. I know it is a silly analogy but I feel like that sometimes... Run when you can, especially if it is to go home :). Once we got home Olivia ran around the living room maybe 15 times yelling and screaming:" I'm freeeee...I Looooove beeeing hoooommmmeee... Than she would roll on the carpet & kiss the floor like she had been gone for centuries. She sure is a character and her happy spirit is very inspiring to us. She has challenged Peter and I to be better people and think of positive outcomes instead of being angry at our situation. She has shown to us that you shouldn't take anything for granted and to make sure we enjoy today because tomorrow is unknown. She has shown us that waking up angry doesn't resolve issues but saying " I Love You" with a big smile can make somebody's day. We know that GOD has given Olivia to us for a bigger purpose because we have seen how many lives she has already touched in her 5 short years. It is amazing to hear from people that don't even know us that just by talking to Olivia and seeing that happy glow in her eyes puts them in a happy mood... Today was another one of those days to where GOD had used Olivia's life for a bigger purpose. We were told that after the med. incident on Monday, her doctors had requested an urgent meeting with the VP of the hospital. After two long meetings, the children's hospital has finally a new system that will no longer override the doctors orders to the pharmacy. They said that because of Olivia they have saved so many children & families having to go through our same problem that the hospital has been dealing with for a long time. Hearing those words at that moment just brought tears to my eyes. All the pain and heartache that we went through just evaporated from my soul and all I could think is..." Let His will be done". No matter how much it hurts to see Olivia deal with all that she has been since she was conceived we know that GOD has His arms around her & HE will always and Forever protect her. ( all I could think after that conversation was the pain we felt inside seeing Olivia in the hospital, even tho she was being treated like a little princess & getting the best care we could've asked for... But yet we couldn't bear seeing her there... Can you imagine at what GOD felt when HE saw HIS only SON, treated like a criminal and being hung on that cross............................We are all humans and if GOD could forgive us after killing our only Salvation than we need at least to try to follow his example...)
