May 11, 2023 Update: Prayers needed this evening for Olivia, Jeni, Jason, and the rest of Kristi's family.
Original Post:
We’ve received what feels like the final report.
Olivia’s umbilical cord has started working correctly again which is good. Her body has not changed in three weeks which is good. But Jeni’s body is what is keeping her alive. her heart is too damaged for anything to help. The clinic went over the scenario of a transplant and it would be horrible. They feel Olivia only has a 40% of being able to survive on a machine until a heart would be available and then there would be the chance that she would not even qualify at that point. It is the third time they’ve been told what the heart transplant will be like and have walked away, knowing they would never do that to their daughter.
They were given a session with a social worker for end-of-life care, the clinic feels it is highly unlikely that she would live, but a few minutes after birth, and maybe not long enough for the sisters to meet her. Jeni And Jason have to make decisions this week because the clinic has them slated for a C-section on May 15th. Jeni and Jason have simply stated that either it’s a miracle of healing or passing away for Olivia. We will continue to pray with Faith.
Prayers for you all as God leads you through this heartbreaking season. Trusting that His grace and love will surround you.
Continuing to pray and believe. The Lord knows. I don’t know what He knows. But He knows. Love you.
Kristi-continued prayers! We have a big God with the final say on every life! He is the one who forms the heart-praying for you all walking through this! Esp for Jeni and Jason!
