Ava's blood gas was 71 and then 73. Her O2 has been at 65 - 100% and now it's down to 87% (at midnight). She hasn't stooled since last saturday, so they were getting concerned and they gave her a glycerin chip. They also gave her diuretics today and she now weighs 9 lbs. 3oz. I guess she has been getting rid of the excess fluid all day.
We were told tonight that Ava is the sickest baby in the NICU. Hard news to hear, but she is also the oldest baby in the NICU. They said that she could get sick again from the same thing which is an infection from her tubing. Pray that she doesn't get sick again because it would delay her going home for possibly a long time.
Praying for Ava to heal and stay healthy and come home to us where she can grow...
Ann, I'm sure that is very hard news to hear. You continue to handle it with faith and grace, what a wonderful testimony. I'm happy the drs have medicine to help Ava and that the excesses continue to come down. Praying for health for your whole family. Love Maureen
