No matter who you are, or how you found your way here: thank you. Thank you for being here, for showing our family support, for caring about our sweet little girl’s journey.

Before jumping into Olivia’s story and progress, we suggest you take a minute to familiarize yourself with her site.

Understand the types of posts we share. We share a daily update under “Daily Rounds“. These include medical updates and details on Olivia’s progress. Because these updates generally build upon the prior day’s update, it may be helpful to go back a bit in time and read forward in order to “catch up” to wear we are today. These may be more detailed than you care for, so every once in a while we’ll try to take a step back and provide a more general, high level update on how Olivia is doing, and what’s next. Read or don’t read. You’ve been warned! Stories from Mom and Stories from Dad are just that. Topics and frequency will vary, but it’s a time and space for us to share fun stories, sad stories, whatever is on our mind.

Get the password for our password protected posts. All of our Daily Rounds posts are password protected. Please don’t hesitate to ask us for the password. We’ll share it freely with those who are interested! Our reason for password protecting them is simply to keep them away from the broader more public interwebs, since we share a lot of medical information, and even reference provider names.

Sign up for email notifications here. We want to provide you with an easy way to stay up to date on Olivia’s progress, should you be so inclined. This allows you to receive a simple email each time we publish a new update.

Make your comments count. Just kidding, we appreciate and love reading every single comment you leave. But, you can make it more fun by adding a picture! Learn how to do that in this post.
