Olivia was released from the hospital today. The surgeon said that they would plan on having the abdominal surgery in about 6 weeks, after Olivia is healed from her heart surgery.

Olivia had her tests this morning (Upper GI/ultrasound). the tests found that Olivia does not have a spleen (as expected) and she does have gut malrotation, meaning the intestines are on the wrong side. This will require an additional surgery, but not at this time. Tricia was told that if it wasn’t for these tests this morning, THEY would have been released from the hospital already. Olivia is still scheduled to be discharged tomorrow.

Tricia was able to talk to a mom who’s 1yo has the same condition. I think that helped her a lot.
