Ava slept all night again and woke up at 6am. Her gas was 60. She had a pretty good day until later in the afternoon when she was getting mass amounts of secretions out of her trach and needing to be suctioned at least every ten minutes. Ava wasn't acting crazy at all, but just coughing a lot. Her nurse gave her a bolus of fentanyl because they had a very sick patient come into the bed right next to Ava. Of course that is when Ava started acting sick. We are hoping she is just withdrawing from her drugs, but they did take a trach culture and gave her different antibiotics. She was sleeping though even when we moved her bed from that other sick child. I was very nervous that something was going to happen like her dropping her heart rate again when another patient was so critically ill. We stayed late to make sure that Ava was ok. Her heart rate was good and she was pretty tired.
Ava lost weight. She is 7.64 kg = 16.84 pounds so they upped her feed to 42 ml.
Thanking God for Ava's strength and praying that Ava is infection free...
