more later - the network is broken. He slept some and finally got to drink his formula. he really wants to be held and that is sad. He might get moved out of the ICU later today or tomorrow morning.
It is good to see him with less drugs in his system. Until now he's been pretty comatose. Now he is fairly alert, but annoyed, bored, and in a bit of pain.

Are we twins or what?
Actually having a good time waiting!
We wanted a place to keep friends and family updated on our lives and the status of Briggs' surgery and recovery.

Miller on Mexican Vacation
Miller Grace Olson
Miller is 6 years old and a fantastic big sister. She is very creative and loves nature and learning about the Earth. She has a VERY unique sense of style and she surprises us every day with eclectic ensembles. Miller has a great sense of humor and tells lots of jokes.
Merritt Hugging Mommy

Merritt Charlotte Olson
Merritt turned 5 in June 2009 and she is a true princess. She loves to twirl and dance, loves fancy dresses and shoes and loves to play make believe. She is also very athletic - she loves jumping off any dangerous surface, tackling the highest monkey bars and generally running wild. Merritt is a sweet girl who loves to cuddle and pay lots of compliments (did I mention she's smart?)
Briggs and Daddy
Are we twins or what?
William "Briggs" Olson
Sweet Brigsy is our baby boy. He has been through so much - with the diagnosis of his heart defect and a few delays, but we are SO proud of all he has accomplished. Likes: walking around with any stick type gear - golf club, lacrosse stick, pirate sword and, yes, magic wand or broom. Dislikes: diaper changes, food and being contained.
That's What Friends are For
Actually having a good time waiting!
Reading the Awesome Memory Book
Thanks to all my friends and family who so wonderfully put together the memory book - with special thanks to Kristy for putting it together and to Susan & Co. who put together the fun puzzle and Carrie and Rachel who gave treats, and Leslie who was my holy roller, and Rebecca who has offered to coordinate help and to Mary Karen, Mary Speiser, Maria, Sonia, MPPC pastors and our moms for staying with us during the surgery. The memory book is so touching and will be an important keepsake for Briggs and us forver. Thank you.

YAY BRIGGS!!! pretty soon he'll be asking for ice-cream sundaes and caramel apples. It will be a moment you'll never forget, when you can finally hold him. If Stanford computer network is shaky, want me to start a blog from home and you can email me the content?

it sounds like things are uphill from here. I think he got his fight from Aunt Amy. I don't know if you remember but I was more than 3 mos. premature (49 years ago) and I survived. I love you all so much. Gives kisses and hugs to all from me.
Great news! I hope he is more comfortable soon. What a trooper! Thinking of you, Dru
What an amazing little fighter, what amazing parents. Your strength and love are incredible.
Thank you so much for taking time to do these blogs despite everything going on. We are all with you and still sending lots of love....

Hi! I am a friend of Andrea Himmelberger's. Our son's were in the NICU together. I got your blog off of hers and just wanted to send a little note saying that my family is praying for you. Your story (and your recent scare) touched me--as we have been there before! I was so glad to read that your baby boy is doing better!
Our prayers are with your family!!
Jennifer, Cody, Christopher, and Alex Hasty
