Ava had another great day. She slept through the night again. I spoke to her Lung Center doctor today who told me that we do not have to wait a month of her growing to put her on the home vent. We just need her to grow a couple of weeks since she has already proven she can grow to make sure that the home vent isn't stopping her growth. They also are going to check her GJ tube that we have been asking to be checked. The other thing the doctor wants to see is if she needs a cuffed trach to come home. He would like her to not have one since it can cause damage to the inside of her neck as well as she can pull it out and it could cause severe damage. Ava will be weighed Thursday to see if she weighs more. At least we know we don't start over waiting a month once she weighs a bit more.
Thanking God for Ava's life and praying for Ava's weight to grow steadily and her lungs to continue to grow stronger...
