Olivia’s Story - Our Biliary Atresia Fighter💚
At just three weeks old, our sweet baby girl Olivia was diagnosed with biliary atresia, a rare and life-threatening liver disease that affects the bile ducts. We had never heard of it before, but in a matter of days, our lives were turned completely upside down.
What we thought were just normal baby jaundice quickly turned into something far more serious. After countless blood tests, ultrasounds, and finally a liver biopsy, we got the diagnosis no parent ever wants to hear: our daughter’s liver was failing.
At only four weeks old, Olivia underwent a major surgery called the Kasai procedure to try to restore bile flow and delay the need for a liver transplant. We clung to hope but biliary atresia is relentless. Despite the procedure and daily medications, Olivia has continued to face fevers, infections, hospital stays, and now worsening liver function. She’s being evaluated for a life saving liver transplant.
Through everything, Olivia has shown us what true strength looks like. She smiles through her pain. She snuggles, giggles, and lights up every room with a spark that defies the illness in her tiny body. But behind that strength is a baby who fights every day just to be here.
I’m preparing to take a leave of absence from work to care for Olivia full-time as we approach transplant and more intense medical needs. The emotional toll is heavy, but so are the financial ones. Copays, travel to and from the hospital, prescriptions, and daily living expenses are adding up quickly.
We’re sharing Olivia’s story not just to raise funds, but to raise hope and awareness and to ask for help in the most vulnerable way a parent can.
If you’re able to donate, share, pray, or simply send love, please know how much it means to us. Every bit of support brings us one step closer to giving Olivia the healthy life she deserves.
