Olivia Renae's Birth

As many of you know, Olivia Renae was born 5/7/10 at 2:26 p.m. 5#9oz. I went in to see the doctor yesterday morning after having some pains, thinking just Braxton Hicks, throughout the week. Once the ultrasound was done they were concerned with the amount of fluids they were seeing and distended bowels so a specialist was called in and I was sent to labor and delivery, by 1:00 p.m. they determined an immediate c-section needed to be done to get the baby out right away. By 2:26 Olivia was born, however, her belly was very enlarged due an obstruction in her bowels and was transported by the life support van to Children's Hospital in Omaha for immediate surgery to correct this. While mid-way through the operation there was concern that too much of the intestine would have to be removed and she would have to have a colostomy bag for some time and additional surgeries this had proven not to be the case once the surgery was finished. There was enough good intestine and damage was repaired in other areas that she is stable and doing well. There is some concern she may have cistic fibrosis but tests to confirm this won't be back for one week. This is all the info we have for now. Olivia is a fighter and we've been told this by many so we're certain she will recover quickly. It is expected she will be at Children's more than a month. We certainly appreciate all your prayers and well wishes. Thank you greatly.
