Ava's dilation recovery 6/14/13

Things are a bit rough today... All the hard work Ava has put in has been set back. Her chest tube causes a bit of pain for her and she has moments of sharp pains that causes her to flail and ball up which is pretty hard to watch... She misses her pacifier and sucks on her tongue for comfort and calms down when I talk and stroke her head. They are going to take an X-ray later today to see if there is still air in her chest cavity from the perforation in her esophagus but the nursing staff are hopeful. She has a slight fever that they are managing with Tylenol.    Keep us in your prayers. Pray for Ava most of all.
