Day 3.....

Today makes day 3 of Ollie's IV hospitalization. She is a little stir crazy so we try to take her out strolling as often as possible. John and I made it back from our walk in Crestview around 4:30 this afternoon. We were so happy to see our baby and she was extremely happy to see us as well. She is my little sweetheart/slobber queen.

The Great Strides walk for CF went very well and I'll post more about it in a later post. I just wanted to take some time to add some pics of this little cutie that around 40 people came out and walked for. We are so blessed to have such a huge support system!

Ollie's main doctor is gone until Monday so we don't really have any news. Her weekend doctor put orders in that mitts be put over her hands because during his short little check up with her he thought she was pulling at her IV. Little does he know that when O is fussy, she plays with her right ear (her IV port is above her right ear). Those mitts came off before the nurse could even exit the room. I'll let him know tomorrow that Lynsey's orders are NO mitts and last time I checked I was her mama!!! She was fussy at the time he was here, but who can blame her...people are poking and messing with her 24/7. She is sleeping now but that will not last long. Her next antibiotic IV is scheduled for 8:00 PM (about 3 minutes away). Hopefully she can sleep through it. Anyway, here are some pictures of O in her massive and very cozy bed. Wish I could fit up there with her! You can see her little IV port on the side of her head. It flops around like a little pigtail and doesn't seem to bother her in the least.

We decorated her bed to look like it does at home.

(Her pink polka dot sheets wouldn't fit the mattress)

Just remember that you are her Mama and what you say goes! Most of the time, Mamas know best - don't keep those sweet hands covered up!!

We had so much fun today!! Hope Ollie continues to do well and you guys get to come home sooner rather than later!
