She is at 51% O2 and 40 bpm, down from the 45. Her blood gas has been 56 and then 51. That is good and hopefully they can wean more from the support since she can breath on her own. She just needs the pressure to keep her lungs open.
She seems pretty happy but the hose to her trach seems to come unattached easily. It happened 3 times when Anthony was there today. She was great tonight.
Her primary nurse this evening told me that hopefully she can (and she emphasized this): Bottlefeed. She repeated it, and I said that the docs said that hopefully she can breast feed. This nurse is kinda snotty. My friend met her the other night and couldn't believe the attitude she gave the other nurse. This nurse feels like she has been there over 20 years and knows everything. Oh, she must not know our God too well and doesn't really know Ava... She is still doing well on her pacifier. She can only keep it in her mouth by holding it for her.
That's her feeding tube in her photo, it's in her nose, so her mouth can be clear.
Praying, praying and praying...
