August 2011: Kelly Turner begins blogging about Olivia and her middle daughter?s alleged medical needs. Many of the diagnoses she lists will later be revealed to be false.
2012: Olivia is seen for the first time at Children?s Hospital Colorado for feeding difficulties. Turner reports a history of seizures and other health problems.
July 2014:
A neurologist determines Olivia doesn?t have seizures and should stop taking medication for it. She continues to take the anti-seizure drug until shortly before her death.
[How was she getting the prescriptions?]
September 2014: Olivia has her third hospitalization for constipation.
November 2014:
Olivia undergoes an ileostomy, which creates a hole in the abdomen so waste can drain directly from the small intestine to a bag. Her constipation improves, but
Turner reports she won?t eat, and a feeding tube is put in through her nose.
January 2015:
A more permanent feeding tube is inserted through Olivia?s abdomen, replacing the temporary tube in her nose. A different type of tube will be placed surgically shortly afterward.
June 2015:
Olivia has another surgery to place a tube to feed her through her veins, a process called total parenteral nutrition, or TPN. She undergoes feeding therapy at the hospital and improves her ability to eat normal foods.
July 2015: Turner first posts online that Olivia has a terminal illness. Her medical records show no such disease.
2016:
Olivia receives escalating doses of painkillers. [Again, how was she getting the prescriptions?]Turner falsely reports Olivia?s sister had had lymphoma when they lived in Texas.
February 2017: Olivia has a ?Bat Princess? Make-a-Wish party. She later does a ride-along with Denver police and participates in other events covered by local media, including The Post.
March 1, 2017:
Olivia undergoes her final surgery, a procedure implanting a tube in her bladder, which drains through her abdomen.
March 24, 2017:
Turner requests that Olivia not be resuscitated if her heart stops or given naloxone if her breathing stops because of the large doses of opioids she is receiving.
March 27-28, 2017:
Olivia?s care team raises concern that the amount of stool in Olivia?s ostomy bag and the amount recorded in her chart don?t add up. This is important, because the amount of stool is a clue to how well Olivia?s intestines are functioning.
A monitor is assigned to the room, and the amount of stool improves significantly.
Doctors aren?t sure if she improved on her own, the medicine they gave helped,
or if the monitor prevented tampering.
March 29, 2017:
Turner requests that Olivia be placed in hospice.
July 11, 2017:
A doctor refuses to renew an order not to resuscitate Olivia if her heart stops or give her naloxone if she overdoses on prescribed opioids,
precipitating a series of ethics meetings. The hospital?s child protection team finds ?no reason to alert the Department of Human Services to potential medical child abuse,? according to medical records. A different doctor later signs the order. Right here is where the hospital became complicit in this child's murder. WTF kind of "child protection team" is this?
Aug. 1, 2017:
Olivia is transferred to hospice, where she receives pain medication, juice and popsicles.
Aug. 20, 2017:
Olivia dies.
October 2018: A new primary care doctor discovers Turner lied about Olivia?s sister having been treated for lymphoma after Turner brought the girl in for bone pain. A report about potential child abuse is filed with the state and
an investigation begins.
Oct. 18, 2019: Turner is indicted on charges of first-degree murder, child abuse and defrauding Medicaid and private donors.
