Ava's blood gasses were 57 and 47 today! They took the fluid out of her trach and she is still off of her sedation. She gets a little bit of sedation (ativan) every 8 hours now. I spoke to the Lung Center respiratory therapist today and she has no idea when they will decide to put her on the home vent. We also stopped venting her tummy and she had no problem with any gas pains or any pain at all. She even stooled like she was supposed to and didn't cramp up with pain. I let her taste a little bit of baby food peaches and she made funny faces and stuck her upper lip out at us. It was so funny. She did gag a bit even with it being very runny but I think she just isn't used to the taste. Please pray that Ava can use her mouth and tummy for what God intended it to be used for.
Ava weighs 7.36 kg = 16.23 pounds - she went down again, 75 cm long = 29.53" (but that can't be right because last week she was 67 cm), 42 cm head circumference = 16.54".
Thanking God for Ava's contagious, toothy grin and praying for progress towards home and peaceful time as a family...
