Ollie turned 11 weeks this week, and it’s been a bit of a whirlwind.

On Monday, he spiked a fever, had a high heart rate, and was clearly not feeling his best. After some testing, we learned he had a staph infection, so he’s now on antibiotics to fight it off.

Thankfully, he hasn’t had a fever since that first day, and he’s already looking so much better—still a little fussy at times, but brighter, calmer, and more like himself.

Despite the bumps in the road, he’s been gaining weight like a champ and is officially up to 8.5 lbs. He’s looking chunky, strong, and absolutely adorable.

Right now, we’re waiting to hear more from the team about how long he’ll need to be on antibiotics and whether the infection clears completely. Before Ollie can receive a donor heart, he’ll need 2–3 negative cultures in a row, so we are praying hard that these next few tests come back clean.

Please continue to pray against any infections and illnesses and that he will be brought into perfect health so he can be ready for his miracle heart.

Thank you all for continuing to cheer our little guy on!

Every message, every prayer, every kind thought means the world. 💛
