Today was a very big day for Ava.
The swelling was pretty much disposed of at this point and Ava started to let it be known that she did not want to be on the respirator anymore.
The pacer wires for the external pace maker were removed in the early AM.
After pushing the breathing tube out of her mouth twice (the little stinker) the attending doctor had the respiratory team extubate her, permanently ridding her from the ventilator. The NG was also removed as part of the extubation process.
We were so happy to see our baby's face without all of the tubes (though there were some tape marks left behind).
Things are really starting to look good for Ava at this point.
