Day 116 - 7 lbs!

Ava had a really good day today. She slept most of the day and the changed the hept trap (I think that's how you spell it) to her foot instead of her head. The "hept" trap is where she gets her sedation and any antibiotics.

Her nurse today was really great and learned the Ava is very "social". She talked with and she let me hold her despite that she had never helped a mom hold a baby that has been on a vent.

I finally got to meet the mom that I have speaking to since the beginning that had quadruplets that passed on, and then she had twins that were in the NICU and survived. It was great to meet her! They are having a NICU reunion picnic in August. Hopefully we will be OUT of the NICU by then.

Ava still has been in O2 around 88% today but at least it went down. Her blood gas was 71 and then she suctioned Ava good and her blood gas came down to 58 which they were happy with.

Ava weighs 7 lbs.!

Praying for Ava to come home soon, happy and healthy...
