Today Ava got her trach hole surgically closed around 8am. Everything went very smoothly. The biggest concern was after the surgery when she woke up. If she woke up crying it can cause her neck to balloon up with air. Thankfully she woke up peacefully in her bed and was pretty happy. A few times during the day she did need some meds to help with the pain. Her neck didn't balloon up but it was pretty bloody. The stitches will come out next week.
We haven't been able to get her to gain any weight but she eats as much as she would if she was getting tube fed. We can take the g-tube out as soon as we want to.
Thanking God for Ava's progress and praying for her to gain weight and grow lung tissue...
