Day 816 - Ava has asthma

Ava was satting lower 90s today and her sleeping heart rate was low 100s, when it's normally 50s - 70s and satting high 90s. She was needing albuterol every 3-4 hours just like Ariana, so I decided to take her to the doctor to make sure it was nothing other than asthma. The doctor checked her out and confirmed that she was having asthma symptoms. We will be on steroids for 5 days as well as albuterol whenever she needs it. Just like Ariana and Daddy. 3 out of 5 Hackett's have asthma. Please pray that my babies can be rid of it.

Thankfully, Ava has handled it without needing the vent and very little, if any O2. She just needs the albuterol.

Thanking God for Ava's lung strength and praying for her to never need a vent again...
