Ava's gasses were 88 and 69. She is still in 60% O2. They decided to go down on her breath rate to 30 because it took her so long to exhale and to go up on her pressure to 26. That is when she went down to a blood gas of 69. She was satting all day from 91-93% but is 97-100% tonight.
They took more cultures of everything again - like her urine, trach and blood and nothing has come back yet. Her trach secretions looked to be thicker so they may grow something and we can give her the appropriate antibiotics instead of "Bactriban" that she is currently getting. There is a new doctor on this week and hopefully she won't just let Ava lay there paralyzed all week.
I was just watching "Charlie St. Cloud" and he had to have chest compressions because he flat lined from a car accident. In the movie, the paramedic that saved his life said that he was given a second chance and that God had plans for him. Ava has been given two second chances and obviously God doesn't want her to come home to him. I'm not sure what we all have to learn from Ava, but hopefully Ava's life will prove to be a long and amazing experience for her, us and our Lord.
Thanking God for letting Ava be with us and praying that her life is long and fruitful...
