Dr. Cook called Tim while I was on the road to mom’s and said that Olivia’s ultrasound was clear! Her blood work was normal except for low iron, and her protein level in another test had dropped significantly!!! The low iron level explains why she has had such a lack of energy lately.
Dr. Cook has talked to a specialist in Columbus and they believe Olivia has “Orthostatic proteinuria” (Martha and Tiffany, you were right!) This is a benign condition that you can look up on the Internet if you are curious to know more. 🙂
Thank you for your prayers. Olivia will start multi-vitamins and extra iron now, so hopefully her bouncy self will be back soon! 🙂
Praying you find many ways to cherish today,
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 
Glad to hear the news is good!
Cheri,
I will be praying for your daughter. We have a friend who battles the same disease, and he has developed some recipes that are amazing! Please email me at tammynischan@yahoo.com and I will hook you up with him and his wife. They are precious, and I know he will be a huge help to you!!! Your daughter has been blessed with a wonderful mom to help her adjust to such a different way of eating.
I love you.
Tammy
