Day 152

Ava's blood gas was 59 this morning. That is really good for her. I was hoping they were going to turn her rate down if they got a good gas, but her gas was 63, which is ok for her, but not good enough to go down.

She is in 35% O2 this evening but she is just satting in upper 80s so she will probably turn her up. She was in 45% all day. I called the Nurse Practitioner in today to see how Ava was trying to nurse today. She would turn her body and head and the NP saw it. Unfortunately she can't try eating again until her rate is lower (it is now at 50 breaths per minute). Please pray that we can get the rate off and her breathing room air (21%).

Praying for Ava to come home by September...
