Day 151 - 5 Months Old!

I am proud to say that Ava is now 5 month old! Woo-hoo! Sad to say that she is still in the hospital. We were hoping that wouldn't have been the case, but at least she still is here and fighting. Ava was taken off the new vent during the night because it kept alarming and the guy who knows the machine the best wasn't in. Her blood gas was 69. She did lose the IV line that went into her groin and gave her the sedative and antibiotics. She was on the last day of antibiotics  so that is ok, but they aren't sure if she will have any withdrawal symptoms from her sedation. Tomorrow I can hopefully give her a bath in her new pink tub. She is in 45% O2 and satting in the mid 90s.

Our ladies aren't sick today, in fact they got better yesterday afternoon. I think Ali wasn't feeling well from her 5 year shots, and I have no clue about Ari - maybe sympathy pains?? Thanks for everyone to send your love to the girls.

Thanks Nickole and Jessica for coming over yesterday and helping out. Thanks Amy for setting up the meals too (and Millie for contacting her)! Thanks to everyone else that has been sending (and showing) your love to us and Ava. You guys ROCK!

Ava weighs 8 lbs. 13 oz.

Praying for Ava to stay healthy and not catch anything and in another 5 months she will be home for awhile and thriving...
