Day 157

Ava's gas was 71 this morning. She is in about 46 - 50% O2. I told one of her primary nurses today that I was told that Ava aspirated. The nurse asked the docs and they told her that wasn't true. SO here we go again... Wrong information. I am sadly disappointed with the amount of wrong information going around about Ava. Her nurse also was telling the nurse who was taking care of her today, that other nurses are saying that she doesn't have any happy baby time, and the nurse told her don't believe that, it's not true. I also wasn't even told that she had an eye exam yesterday. It only happens every two weeks, and it happened yesterday and I didn't even know. In addition, it's been over a week since they have measured her head and length. They are supposed to do that once a week, typically on Mondays. I am disappointed with the nurses (who aren't her primaries, whom we love) seem to not care and with all of the wrong information. The other nurses don't seem to want her because she's high maintenance. I think they want her out of there.

Ava weighs 9 lbs. 6 oz. - 4250 grams. She is 50 cm long - 19.69" and her head is 35.5 cm - 13.98".

Ava's eye exam is looking better. The retinopathy is still regressing which is good and they will see her in two weeks. Praise God that her eyes are getting better. Better to see all of us with ;)

Praying for Ava's health..

  2. Beautiful eyes! Do you have a family coordinator of sorts to help hone in the communications? I hope there is someone receptive to your comments about communication - you are the mother afterall - hospitals tend to forget that quickly! Glad her eyes are getting stronger. Lots of love, Maureen
