Thankfully Allison is recovering well. She will probably be in quite a bit of pain for the next two or three days but will improve with time. And, I forgot to mention that her appendix was removed too.
Olivia on the other hand is having a tougher go. Today, during Allison's surgery, Olivia was put back on a ventilator to help her with breathing. She began laboring with her breathing so the doctor wanted to help her out. He also gave her another dose of surfactant to help her lungs. She is a little anemic and her platelet counts are very low. She is being given a transfusion of blood right now and two different antibiotics. The doctor thinks all these signs point toward some kind of infection. We won't know for sure for two days when the blood cultures come back. Otherwise her breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure are all okay.
