Olivia feels fine this week...the injections from friday gave her slight bruising on a couple spots on her arm, but she never said it hurt or anything after we left the doctor's office Friday. Over the weekend, I noticed she is using her right hand more on her own and wants me to know it, she says "hand" and looks at her right hand, until I praise her for using it! We are starting to strech her arm and will be getting her to do tasks with both hands like carry a tray or big ball.
Brian is off all week except Wednesday, so Nana is keeping olivia that day. Until then, she is enjoying extra time with her daddy! Today he said he felt like he cleaned up the living room all day (toys, toys and more toys from Christmas at the Holland's yesterday!) and Olivia talked his ears off. They went out to get the oil changed in the highlander and had lunch at McDonalds. We leave Friday for a weekend in Ohio for Christmas with Brian's family up there. I'll just be glad to get the work week over with, it's SLOW although I have a lot to do in 3 days!
We thought this would be a fun way to post updates on Olivia and Madi's ever-changing world for family & friends to see!
About Me
- Kristy and Brian
- Brian & I met online in 2000 and married in June 2003. Olivia was born April 14th, 2006, a week before due date! She has blessed us in so many ways. She had an AVM bleed in her brain at 5 mo. and had emergency surgery to remove it. She's been through 4 surgeries total, all by age 5. Oct. 6, 2006 was the date of the AVM bleed and she endured PT, OT, and Speech Therapy through Early Intervention Services until age 3. Now, only OT once/wk and an IEP through school w/sped ed, OT and Speech. Madison was born 6.29.09 and is growing up too fast, talking up a storm, potty training and enjoying time with her family and friends at daycare and church. Her cute little personality blossoms more every day. :) The girls are best friends and get along really well about 99% of the time.
Liv and Madi
sweet girls :)
