Olivia had her first (and hopefully last) surgery at Children's Hospital today.
Dr. Macha, her Gastrointestinal doctor, did an endoscopy. She biopsied 3 spots on Olivia's stomach. We will get the results of the biopsy next week. Also last Tuesday Olivia had more blood work done and she will be having a pulmonary sweat test done on Monday of next week to rule out Cystic Fibrosis. Dr. Macha said that she would contact me late next week with ALL of the results.
Dr. Haupert, Olivia's ENT, checked out her ears and surprisingly found that both ears still had fluid in them. He went ahead and placed tubes in each ear and then she had an ABR (sedated hearing test) which she passed with flying colors!!! This was exciting news for George and I as Olivia has had 2 hearing tests in the ENT office since June and she failed both of them. Grammy and I knew that Olivia's hearing issues were solved as soon as she came out of the OR and into the wake-up room today. She was alert, laughing, and looking all over the place. She even became startled quite a few time - probably because of all the new noises she was hearing. Since she's been home...she's been cooing more and trying to keep up with her talkative brothers!
We just wanted to thank everyone for their prayers and support! We love you all!
