She is all warm and cozy again. They put clothes on her and she can even sport her hats! She continues to get really puffy from all of the drugs they are pumping in her. Doesn't look like herself anymore.
Today was such a roller coaster- with Ava's gases all over the place. They were a bit frantic in figuring out what was going on- they said it was normal for changes because her body was reacting to being warmed- and needing more oxygen because she was working harder to get blood flowing to her extremities.... But her numbers were still surprising low in their eyes. They did an echo and X-rays and figured out her vent was being pushed out of her throat because of how swollen she is- essentially not giving her all the help she needs. This was actually a good thing because it was a quick fix. Once they got the tube back in place her numbers were back at good ranges. Went to bed last night feeling that she was once again coasting and buying time for her lungs to heal. Very emotional day.
On a happy note my Mom brought Mason and Ryan up to see us. Ryan was all smiles, Mason had a few more questions but seemed ok with being able to see us as much as possible. Was great to see them although made reality set in a bit more.
