Important Update

Our March for Babies celebration is still on, but it looks a little different! We are rapidly preparing for a new, virtualized event that will be fun and engaging for everyone.

Olivia

Olivia was delivered by emergency c-section 10/10/13 at 11:43pm. She weighed 15.9 ounces and was 10 ¼ inches long. I had become suddenly ill and was quickly transferred from my local hospital to Toledo Children’s in anticipation of Olivia’s early arrival. I was diagnosed with HELLP syndrome which progressed so rapidly that I did not receive the steroid injections normally given before early deliveries. Olivia had a very rough first month with many scary moments but then made steady progress after her PDA ligation. She spent 122 days in the NICU before coming home. She was home for 1 week before developing pneumonia and being transferred back to Toledo Children’s. She was diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension and spent 3 months in the PICU before coming back home. Olivia came home on 22 medications, with oxygen, a NG tube and 2 monitors but is now down to only 2 medications, no oxygen, and no monitors. She has a g-tube but is starting to eat by mouth. Our ongoing journey has been eye opening and humbling. Who knew that such a tiny being could teach us so much!
