Mission Report <\/p>\n

God gave us a real cutie for flight 200! Baby Olive was born at only 23 weeks after her mom suffered appendicitis and developed an amniotic infection. She weighed only 1 pound 5 oz and was given less than 6% chance of survival. Her mom is in the Air Force and had relocated to Omaha, Nebraska from northern Indiana for work. <\/p>\n

Her dad, who previously had been working 2 full-time jobs to help her mom stay off work and near Olive, now was trained in her care. She has been on a ventilator since birth and is a fighter. She has had countless problems with infections and has been near death a number of times. Doctors said she would never be strong enough to travel-but her parents never gave up hope. <\/p>\n

Volunteer pilots have even taken the family back and forth to Omaha to help with the relocation.<\/p>\n

I was a nervous wreck being part of our first baby ventilator flight-but our volunteers Katie and Katie-respiratory therapist and nurse team had it under control. (they work for St. Vincent neonatal transport team full time)<\/p>\n

RT Katie said “for me this is no problem” and nurse Katie declared “this is what I was born to do.”<\/p>\n

I loved the genuine compassion that the NICU team at Lutheran Hospital had. Baby Olive had a full army of staff to say goodbye and see her off. Some were even in tears of joy. <\/p>\n

Next week baby Olive will celebrate her first birthday! She did great on the flight and after her exciting send off-slept soundly (as long as a Katie was patting her). Dad said she’s earned the right to be a little spoiled \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

When we arrived in Omaha, Mom and Dad actually couldn’t believe it all came to be. They had never lost hope in that little body full of life.<\/p>\n

Now she’s home finally breaking in that new crib. We even found out that surprisingly she has another sibling on the way next spring (unplanned-pray it goes well). She’s going to be an awesome big sister. <\/p>\n

Thanks to Superior Ambulance being ever faithful and even driving 3 hours to serve this family! I love you guys!<\/p>\n

Thanks to great Katie and Katie team and to our medic\/nurse Matt who was as always willing to serve, even though he just happened to be at the hospital visiting his grandpa.<\/p>\n

Thanks to great flying by Hal and Mark and flight following by Bob-you all are truly hands and feet of Jesus.<\/p>\n

Wow-200 missions-God is Good!<\/p>\n
