Day 435 - 1 more night...

Ava had a great night and her final blood gas before going home was 48! Woo-hoo! Really great! She discovered today that she can pull her vent off and get attention fast. All of her equipment is here now except for the extra portable O2 tank. I got the truck cleaned out and the house is cleaned. Tomorrow one of Ava's primary nurses is taking the ride to and from the hospital with us to help with the transition. We should be discharged around 10 am.

Ava weighs 9.02 kg = 19.89 pounds. Almost 20 lbs! Head circumference - 43.5 cm = 17.13".

Thanking God for Ava's growth and praying for a great trip home and for Ava to love being home...
