Updates...

Olivia has been home since May 4-th thanks to the IV's added to her nightly regiment( we still do her labs and dr. appt every other day though). For this past 2 weeks her labs have been pretty stable ( not where they want her to be but better than they've been for the past month). In the meantime her nephrologist has had multiple meetings with the urology surgeons and as of yesterday they decided to put off her second surgery ( the nephrectomy). It was such a relief to hear those words come out of her docs mouth... Phew...they said that the acute injury was found on the tube part of the kidney which apparently regenerates by our body with time. Also the intestinal infection she got last month had a huge impact on dehydrating her new kidney so they want to give her new kidney time to heal right now instead of rushing into another major surgery that can make things worse. Olivia has been eating great too which is always amazing to see. It's such an overwhelming feeling to put a plate of food in front of your child without having to count all the phosphor and potassium in that plate and having to take it away from your child as they're enjoying it. With that said Olivia has been loving eating bananas and potatoes ( that she couldn't have before) and she's eating them daily ;)... for now haha.
