Things have been somewhat the same...

As of last Wednesday, Olivia was put back on the daily IV fluids. The trial week we did without the IV didn't go very well as the kidney numbers started elevating daily. It has been kind of a discouraging week because we're doing everything we're suppose to, yet Olivia's new kidney still is having a hard time functioning at it's fullest capacity. Really praying for another miracle again, so our baby girl can finally start living a somewhat " normal" life instead of being hooked to tubes all day and have her body drawn in such high fluid volume. Besides the struggle with her new kidney function she has been energetic and with a good appetite. God continues to be by us and continues to bless us daily... And speaking of blessings, God is blessing us with another child. We're three and a half months along and still in disbelief that we're finally going to have another baby. God always has a plan and we can't wait to make Olivia a big sister again :).

Still able to enjoy the stay at home.

Olivia has been home with no hospitalization since our last discharge in May. Her body is still struggling at maintaining a low creatinine ( kidney toxins flush). For the past two weeks she has been in the high .77-.78 and ideally they want her at least at 0.60. Even tho she is running high they did finally take her IV off this Friday because her doctor doesn't want her body to get used to and rely on IV fluid rather than her regular liquid intake. She still needs to drink close to 3L a day which is a huge challenge on itself. On the positive note,Olivia has been eating great and growing like a weed ( or flowers as she says :) ). She is still going to the hospital for dr. appt and labs 3x a week but we're hoping that after her 3 month mark (June27-th) we can drop it to 2x a week which will feel somewhat more of a "normal" week. Thank you again to everyone that continues to pray for us. GOD bless.
