9:00am Ava had a good night. Her chest x-ray this morning looked good. The ventilator is effectively inflating the right lung. They think they will try to extubate tomorrow. They will probably pull the pacer wires, IV that is in the chest, and the 2 chest tubes today. Her surgery antibiotic is finished and she has been restarted on amoxacillin which is preventative for urinary tract infections. Her feeds are increased again. She is up to 9mls per hour or so and will increase every 4 hours by a tiny amount today.
(If you haven't noticed, I update each days post throughout the day, rather than adding a bunch of little individual posts about events occuring in the same day. So if you check our blog frequently during the day refer to the same days' post. If you like, you could even check the previous days' because I often post things late at night)
I'm so glad she is making it through her surgery, and getting better. We are praying for her!
