Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Hi all just a quick update on Olivia, first the bad news, she had her first official " trampling " at the school yesterday. An older girl was running full steam down the hall and didn't even see Olivia, just trampled right over her <gulp>, she has no new injuries from it other than a scrape on her elbow but since she landed hard on her butt with the other girl on top of her it has aggravated her hip fracture and now she's limping terribly again. I know that this isn't the last time something like this will happen but I think it would be better if I didn't actually have to see it!! On to the good news!! Olivia will start her first IV Pamidronate treatment for OI in 2 weeks and we're very excited for some of the " good " side effects, increased appetite, more stamina, increased growth of about 1.5 cm, weight gain of about one lb. We'll deal with the bad side effects if she gets them but I hear that they're usually quite short lived. Have a great day everyone!!! Can't wait to meet everyone in Chicago!!

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Leah, I'm really sorry to hear about the episode Olivia had. I worry alot about our daughter, Abby, getting overrun and she doesn't have the issue Olivia does. Congratulations on starting the new treatment. I hope everything goes well for your family!
