Ava had a good night. She was up a couple of times but was happy and then went back to sleep. She did get up again at 6am and took a couple of naps during the day. Her gas was 57. When we got there at 3pm she did have a lot of secretions again. They think it could now be that the illness is coming up and out of her lungs, but I'm not sure that is the reasoning. The fellow also said they are going to wait at least a week to put her back on the home vent until they are sure Ava is fine with the cuffed trach being down. But they were supposed to check that this weekend. Not sure why we are being told one thing one day and another thing on another day.
We gave Ava a sucker today and she even put it into her mouth. She loved it and it was amazing to see that she could do it. She didn't gag and actually stuck out her tongue to lick it.
Thanking God for Ava's progress and praying that we can get her home before she gets another illness...
