Day 29


Ava's brain scan was good. They couldn't find anything wrong. She is on 13ml of food. At 9:30pm she is on 14ml of food, and in the morning she will be on her full feed of 15ml. Thank you heavenly father! Unfortunately though, her O2 went up again this morning and her O2 saturation was low again this morning. The doctor decided to put her on steroids. She started getting them at 1:30pm and she will get them every 12 hours. I found out it is a very small amount. Hopefully by the morning, we will hear that her O2 and settings on the oscillator are going down.

I went in this evening to see Ava before her 6:30pm feeding and I got to put lotion on her and talk to her. They also took her PIC line out today so her arms are free. Free to move around - You can see her arms free in the picture. She looked pretty comfortable while I was there. Her CO2 gas was 56 which was down from 65 earlier that day.

So, we are praying for the steroids to not cause her harm and improve her lungs...
