Ava had an interesting day. She had a blood gas of 69 this morning. The lowered her peep to 8 and her gas then was in the 70s. They upped her peep back to 9 and her bpms went from 25 to 30 to 35. Her gas was still in the 70s. Her O2 was at 35% this afternoon and is now at 40%.
I went in this afternoon at 1pm to help give Ava a bottle. She took 11ml. It was absolutely amazing and scary at the same time. The speech therapist wants to put her to breast as soon as possible. They were going to do a swallow study tomorrow but now it may be moved to Monday. I cried with the joy of being able to feed her and waiting for this day to come. Everyone still doubts that she can completely feed from a bottle or breast feed, but I know the power of prayer... Please pray for this... It would make me one happy mama, and keep Ava from having another surgery for a g-tube in her tummy.Ava weighs 3550 grams - 7 lbs. 13 oz.
Praying for Ava to heal and eat well...
