Our Little Miracle

So, Miss Olivia woke up at 2:30 this morning having "one of those nights" and just couldn't sleep so she decided she wanted to dress up in her Tinkerbell outfit.. We haven't had one of these nights in a while, so it was a bit depressing, but we'll be fine. So, when she asked if I would let her dress up in her Tink outfit, I was all for it. I knew it would bring smiles to our faces, and it did. I just love her. By the way, thanks Sally for the outfit!! What would we have done without it tonight??? Please remember Olivia in your prayers tonight. She goes for her MRI tomorrow and they are going to put her to sleep, and this just petrifies me. This is when all our trouble began in the first place (after her surgery). But, it must be done in order to try and figure out what is wrong with her..We just have to have faith that everything will go smoothly. The EEG came back somewhat normal on Monday. He said she didn't have any major episodes on the EEG, but there was...

This is a picture of the baby she got to pick out after her procedure yesterday..I told her if she would be brave and do good I would let her pick out a present after we left.. (She got one anyway, hint, hint! :-) Isn't this pitiful??? Well, I guess it is time for an update on Olivia and what the Jones household has been up to here lately.. Olivia had surgery on May 12th (I think) to have a brachial cleft pit removed just below her clavicle, and an auricle pit removed at her ear. (Please see previous posts if you do not know what these are) At any rate, surgery went well and Olivia recovered remarkably! BUT, within the week, I noticed this weird jerking and rolling of her eyes when she was trying to go to sleep. Now, luckily, Miss Olivia has always loved her sleep, or I might have mistaken it for "fighting sleep"... But I quickly realized she was having mild seizures as she was drifting off to sleep. We are not sure yet what has caused them, but we are doing lots of test...

So, we left on Monday the 13th of July for Wilderness at the Park in the Smokies and came home yesterday (Fri)... We had soooo much fun. We went with my sister and her family. We take a vacation with them every year. I do not have a lot of pictures of the water at the Wilderness on here because a lot of my pictures include either me or Jason and I am not going to post pictures of me in a bathing suit on here :-),,, thus, not many Wilderness pics on here. At any rate, I did get a lot of other good pics. Also, for those of you who have asked :-), I have some pictures of Olivia's birthday party to post when I get the rest of the pics from friends and family.... Her party was last Saturday night at the Manchester pool outside and it was fun as well. We have had a busy week!!! A picture of Olivia, Charlie and Rylan when we first got into our rooms at the Wilderness. They loved playing on this bunk.... Olivia and her Uncle Ryan sitting at the wave pool catching some rays.... Our sweet ba...

Well, Miss Olivia will be turning 3 this coming Sunday. Time is going SOOOO fast... It seems like it was only a few months ago that we got her. This little girl has brought so much joy and happiness into our life, so much she will never know. I always kid with her (well, I am not kidding, but she thinks it's hilarious) and tell her to come here, I need to talk to you.... Then, I take both of her hands in mine and look into her eyes and tell her "I love you so so much sweet girl!!" Well, at first, she told me the same thing back, now she just starts dying laughing and takes off running because I do it soooooo much... As soon as I tell her I need to talk to her, a grin comes across her face and she comes and puts her hands in mine to see if that's what I am going to say, or if she's in some kind of trouble. Too funny! I love her soooo much... We rented the outdoor Manchester pool for Saturday and she is so very excited...It's all she talks about (especially sinc...
