Day 173

Ava's gas was 63 this morning and 62. They wouldn't go down on the rate. The doctor told everyone to not go down on the rate until it's below 60. She is in 36% - 40% O2.

She is also going to have an upper GI done on Monday to see how her intestines look and to plan her surgery for the g-tube. They also are thinking of putting her on a home vent to test her out on Monday. That would be really great and if she can handle it, it would mean she could possibly come home soon once she gets the g-tube. Please pray for this. I know Ava would do so good at home.

We went down to the PICU (pediatric intensive care unit) yesterday. It's quite different than the NICU and we would rather skip going there if possible.

Praying for the home vent to work on Ava's lungs and for Ava to come home...
