They did a bronchnoscopy again today to check out her bronchial tubes. They found that it isn't floppy when she has a peep of 8 and when she gets upset her bronchial tube doesn't close which is a good thing. If it closes she can't breathe. They are hoping with her growth that it will grow so it could never close again. Her growth curve is not very good and need to go more on the upswing.
I tried to breastfeed again today and she was not interested at all. She would get upset. But it was after she got "bronched". I'm still praying that we can make this work.
Ava now weighs 5.1 kg which is 11.24 pounds.
Just a reminder, Ava's Prayer Vigil is August 29th at 6pm at Knox Church on Elmwood Ave in Kenmore, NY. We would love to have you come and celebrate God's gift of Ava to us and pray for her to be a healthy girl living a long fruitful life.
Praying for Ava to grow her lungs and become stronger...
Through the Fire
ReplyDeleteLyrics:
So many times i've questioned certain circumstances
Or things I could not understand
Many times in trials, weakness blurs my vision
And my frustration gets so out of hand
Its then I am reminded I've never been forsaken
I've never had to stand the test alone
As I look at all the victories
The spirit rises up in me
And its through the fire my weakness is made strong
Chorus:
He never promised that the cross would not get heavy
And the hill would not be hard to climb
He never offered our victories without fighting
But He said help would always come in time
Just remember when your standing in the valley of decision
And the adversary says give in
Just hold on, our Lord will show up
And He will take you through the fire again
Bridge:
I know within myself that I would surely perish
But if I trust the hand of God, He'll shield the flames again, again
