Day 260 - A pretty good day

Ava's gas was 57 today! Yeah! She even went up in her weight. The lung center came in today and the doctor that hasn't seen her in a week or two was impressed especially with her head control. She also approved me to try and breast feed again. She kept saying that she can't believe Ava can do it, but as long as it doesn't bother her. So, I did it for about 10 minutes with her. Ava was a little fussy but she was just fussy in general and tired. So after a quick nap, I put her in her tub that she hasn't been in since she was in the NICU and she loved it.

Ava weighs 5.8 kg = 12.79 pounds, length is 58 cm = 22.83", head is 39.5 cm (same as last time) = 15.56"

Here's some song lyrics that has been really inspirational today that you might like too. It's an upbeat song that really gets me going.

Move by MercyMe

I'm not about to give up
Because I heard you say
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days
I wont stop, Ill keep my head up
No, I'm not here to stay
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days

I just might bend but wont break
As long as I can see your face

[Chorus]
When life wont play along
And right keeps going wrong
And I cant seem to find my way
I know where I am found
So I wont let it drag me down
Oh, I'll keep dancing anyway

I'm gonna move (move)
I'm gonna move (move)
I'm gonna move

Ive got to hold 'er steady
Keep my head in the cage
Everything is about to change
Everything is about to change

This hurt is getting heavy
But I'm not about to cave
Everything's about to change
There's gonna be brighter days

I just might bend but wont break
As long as I can see your face

[Chorus]

No matter what may come
Gotta move to a different drum
No matter what life brings
Gotta move gotta move to a different beat [x2]

I just might bend but wont break
As long as I can see your face

Praying for Ava to come home to her family...
