Ava is still waiting for her biopsy. We have no time. She has had all kinds of tube placement issues today. Her breathing tube needed to be moved a touch and re-taped. Her feeding tube was not in the right place and it's needed to be readjusted twice.
She's only getting IV fluids now as we wait for her surgery. She's acting hungry. She's crying and trying to suck on her breathing tube. I hate to see her like that but am grateful for her appropriate responses.
Her carbon dioxide retention levels are better, but her lung still looks a little funky. So now she is getting a nebulizer treatment and chest PT to help her get the gunk out. We are also going to increase the PEEP, which was dropped this morning.
I really just want to hold her.

Amy and Allan, My thoughts and prayers are with you every day. Lord please help baby Ava.
ReplyDeleteI was not able to hold Joshua for five weeks due to his infection and tubes (ventilator, NG tubes, drain tubes due to lung biopsies and collapsed lungs, etc...) I know your pain and the desire of a mother wanting to hold her infant. I am with you in spirit and heart, Amy! Never fear, Ava will not forget your touch nor your arms wrapped around her in love! In prayer, Debbie Brewster Marshall
