This video was made by a friend of our cousin Cindy (whom we have never met). He heard about Olive and decided to make this video, and has been praying for her as well. Thanks Ryan for being so thoughtful.

Saturday's Update.
Olive continues to remain stable, and look more and more comfortable. She had another ultrasound this morning and the neurologist was very pleased with the results of the fluid that has been removed. Because she is responding so well they have decided to remove 10 ml of fluid every 4 hours now. Her head is both looking and measuring smaller. She continues to be off oxygen and is breathing in room air. There continues to be some seizure activity which they are monitoring, but they say it is getting to be less and less.
We feel so grateful to be here at this hospital with Olive receiving such wonderful care. They even have her little head resting on water pillows.
If you are interested in seeing more pictures than I have on this blog you can click on the links on the upper right of this page.
Thank-you for the amazing love and support we feel from friends, family, and those we have never even met. I wish we had the time to write back to all of your comments, but know that we read them regularly and they mean so much to us.
Much love,
Lynette

The Gift of Life by Cardinal Terrence Cooke (as he lay dying)
"The gift of life, God's special gift,
is no less beautiful when it is accompanied by illness or weakness,
hunger or poverty,
mental or physical handicaps,
loneliness or old age.
Indeed, at these times, human life gains extra splendor
as it requires our special care, concern and reverence.
It is in and through the weakest of human vessels
that the Lord continues to reveal
the power of His love."
-----------------------------------------
The neonatologist we have been talking with from South Bend, IN said this to me on the phone the other night and it has stayed in my thoughts ever since then..."Even if they cannot walk or speak, if a child is able to receive and give love, then it is a life worthwhile to God."
