Ava got the full MIMI treatment today. I spent the day hanging with the boys, restocking our house with the basics and figuring out what clothes actually fit right now...
Ava has been doing well and she is taking 70mls at each feeding. They gave her one feeding this morning starting with the bottle - she took 10mls of the 70mls she was supposed to have. She is trying to figured out how to suck on the bottle nipple, but just hasn't gotten the swallow part down yet. Our nurse today - Loretta - ordered a round of therapy sessions with the speech therapist which is able to help her figure out the swallowing.
Ava also doesn't seems to be taking to the Fentanyl weening schedule very well. She gets a little fussy and pukes a bit on the days they ween the drug down so Loretta has told this to the docs and they are evaluating the schedule to see if they want to make changes or not tomorrow.
From what we are told Mimi and Ava could have possibly worn the rocker out on the chair next to Ava's bed!!! I am sure it was a very good day!!
Mimi mentioned she will be contacting WillyBea for some new head bands for Ava -- just like the boys, she is loosing most of her hair!
Xoxo
