Day 105 - 15 weeks old!

Ava's blood gas was very low this morning (I think around 26) and at noon and 6pm was 53. She is on 30 bpm and 80% O2. She was put back on Nitric Oxide and a higher level of her steroids. Unfortunately nothing is working as much as they hoped it would. She was sedated quite a bit but she was sleeping. At 7:30pm, her gas was 43, so they weaned her pressure to 20. Later, her gas was 42, so they moved it to 18. Things are going good, but she is getting sedated every hour. Her gas is 45 and her O2 level is 60 in her blood.

They found a bacteria in her urine, only about 1,000 rare cells so they weren't too concerned but they are trying to figure out how to treat the infection.

Praying for her lungs to grow and get better and to not get any more infections.
