Olivia Heading Home To North Escambia After Brain Surgery
February 13, 2010
Olivia Bush, 6, — the young North Escambia girl that had part of her brain removed Monday at Miami Children’s Hospital — is now on her way home.
She underwent the surgery to alleviate seizures that have plagued her since she was born as the second youngest premature baby to survive at Pensacola’s Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital. During the surgery, doctors removed a 7 centimeter portion of her brain — basically taking out the bad, non-functioning portion and leaving behind the good, healthy tissue.
Olivia was released Friday from the hospital in Miami. After spending Friday night in Orlando, the family is expected back home by Saturday afternoon.
“Olivia is doing well and is getting better everyday,” said her father, Tad Bush. The doctor said everything looked good.” Olivia will need to travel back to Miami in about three months for a follow-up visit. Then she will be followed by her regular neurosurgeon in Pensacola.
