Day 3 Update - Olivia and Mommy are doing great!

It's been quite an interesting journey Leslie, Olivia and I have been on the past few days...with some ups and downs. The best news of all is that Olivia and Leslie continue to do great.

Mommy
Leslie continues to heal and is right on track. She'll be discharged from the hospital today and is up walking around, eating and wearing "street clothes" again. That's all we can ask for, so continue to pray for her continued healing!



Olivia
Olivia continues to eat, sleep and poop, which I guess is all you can ask for. The past few days have been a real challenge for her (and Leslie and I.) When Olivia was born she was pretty small and had some difficulties. Thankfully, we were aware of these potential issues while Leslie was still pregnant so we had all of the necessary doctors, nurses, etc. present at delivery. I can't tell you how much of a blessing that was for us, God continues to show us his true power every day. Because Olivia was so small, she's been in a natal ICU for the past few days so she could get every ounce of proper care and so the proper tests could be run. We heard back yesterday that all of the tests turned out positive!!! So were just loving on her as much as we can and waiting for her to grow so we can take her home!


Here's a picture of Olivia sleeping soundly right after she was born. This was the first time Leslie got to see her pretty little face as she was on her way over to her current home!

Daddy
Like Leslie and Olivia, I'm doing good too. Leslie and I both continue aching to see Olivia for every single second that we can. It's nice to be over the exhaustion of the first few days and able to just spend some quality time with our little girl.

I just want to thank everyone one more time for all of the thoughts, prayers and well-wishes. They all have meant the world to us. I hope you thoughts and prayers will continue to be with us!

More to come - Chad
