Ava had a rough night again with a couple of her O2 desats. Her day wasn't much better especially with not having any of her primary nurses. Because her O2 saturations drop, some nurses are afraid to get her up and move her around. I came in and she smelled like a trach infection, so I had them get a trach culture and a urine culture as well. The blue bag we are supposed to use to bag the O2 back into her lungs wasn't even being used. I decided to stay the night and she slept from 8pm to midnight with only a couple of upset moments. Tomorrow we are going to get an Upper GI done to see how her tummy is working since we discussing whether or not to vent her G tube which comes from her tummy. She woke up twice with such bad gas pains and she stooled twice as well.
Ava weighs 7.46 kg = 16.45 pounds, 66.5 cm long = 26.18", head circumference: 40.5 cm = 15.95" (that went down so that probably isn't correct).
Thanking God for Ava's strength and praying that Ava will feel better and have relief from the pain...
