The vacuum-packaged bandage on her chest from the second surgery went through a dressing change and per the nurse it was healing very nicely. During the second surgery, instead of suturing or using dermabond again to close the wound they kept the chest open and vacuum-sealed it with a foam packaging and a suction devise so that it heals from the inside out in a more controlled and sterile manner.
Father Al Krupp from Saint Agnes in Elyria stopped up to give Ava a blessing.
Ava started receiving formula feeds through a NG tube (2cc/hr @ 24 cal) so she is continuing to progress on the road to recovery.
All blood cultures gathered and tested in the labs so far have came back positive for MRSA.
