Ava's been sick starting early Monday morning. She actually went down in trach size to a 4.5 because I couldn't get the 5.0 back in on Sunday night. Ava seemed great that night but started having wheezing issues around 5am on Monday. It turned to around the clock albuterol every 4 hours or so. It got better, then got worse. Wednesday we spoke to our Pediatrician and gave her steroids. By Thursday afternoon, she needed O2, and wouldn't settle down so we called both her Pediatrician and Lung Center. I even put the vent on her and she had trouble breathing with it. They both told us to come to the ER which we did. After about 3 Albuterols and a steroid shot in her vein, we were finally in a room for the night to be observed.
Thankfully we were released in the afternoon and she was back to her norm. Her blood cultures came back negative for any illnesses and her lung scan didn't look like pneumonia. Praise God!
Amazingly enough I was able to attend the Taste, take care of my duties and Ali and Ari stayed with me to have fun as well. Ava's incredible Daddy took care of her at home. We also found out that it's a good thing that she got sick now, cause it proved that she didn't need the vent. Even only after being off of it for less than a week.
Thanking God for his amazing miracles and praying for strength and wisdom...
