Ava had a great night and day again. She slept until 8 am and had a blood gas of 54. They put her peep down to 9 and are waiting to see how she does with it. Her O2 saturations seem to be just fine and she has had no desats, but is happy and smiling all day. I am hoping that because she is on a higher dose of steroids, that this is not causing her to act better. They are also going to go back to her uncuffed 5.0 trach. We are still trying to set up a meeting for this week, but we haven't gotten any answers about that yet.
Ava weighs 7.78 kg = 17.15 pounds, and her length is 67 cm = 26.38" (she actually went up .5 cm in 4 days!).
This video is how Ava puts herself to sleep. She totally self soothes, rocks herself and even puts the blanket over head (it's probably too bright in there.) This photo is Ava with one of her beloved primary nurses who can't help to love Ava up.
Thanking God for Ava's growth and praying that she grows stronger and healthier...
What a great smile she has you can't help but smile with her!
