Olivia Update 💜 WE ARE HOME! 🏡
After a long and emotional week, Olivia was finally discharged from the hospital today! 🙌💜
We are so thankful that she was able to come home without a PICC line! Instead, she will be on oral antibiotics for the next six weeks, with continued monitoring and testing from home.
While this is a huge step in the right direction, we aren’t completely out of the woods yet. The doctors will be closely monitoring her toe to make sure the antibiotics are doing their job and the infection is clearing. We also have lots of follow-up appointments ahead with infectious disease and podiatry to closely monitor her progress. There is still a possibility that a partial amputation could be necessary down the road if the medication doesn’t work as hoped. We are praying hard that it never comes to that.
For now, we are celebrating this victory, taking things one day at a time, and feeling incredibly grateful to have our girl back home where she belongs! 💜
Thank you to everyone who has prayed, checked in, visited, sent messages, and loved on Olivia this past week. Your support has meant more than you know.
Please keep those prayers coming! We still have a road ahead of us, but tonight we’re thankful to be home. 💜🙏
