Ava had to go to ENT today and get a blood draw since I couldn't find anyone to come into our home to draw it. We are going to be getting IVIG done in our home and that will be a huge relief to not have to be admitted into the hospital for at least 6 hours. Ava did really well on our trip and the ENT doctor told me that it is fine to suction her to 8 if needed when you can't get the secretions out suctioning at 7. He said she looked really great. So happy to hear it! I could hear that every day!
We went into Quest Labs in Lancaster to get her labs drawn and they are located right next to a Cigar shop and the place smelled like cigar smoke. It also didn't have air conditioning and poor Ava was so sweaty. We got in and they tried on her left arm to draw blood but they couldn't get the blood to draw back. They were going to try a heal stick but that wouldn't have worked for what they needed so they tried one more time. If they couldn't get it, we were going to have to come back tomorrow. Oh how our nurse and I were praying that they could get it! And she did! Praise the Lord! Ava did really well and was smiling afterwards. She is so amazing.
Tomorrow Early Intervention comes in to evaluate Ava. Can't wait to see what they say!
Thanking God for Ava's strength and for the blood draw and praying for help to get someone in our home to do the weekly blood draws...
