Thurs 12/18/08 - - Recovery Day 2

Today was very productive day in regards to Ava's recovery.

By the use of intravenous diuretics, Ava was starting to dispose of the fluid build up and swelling of from the surgery.

The drainage tubes in Ava's chest were removed as they were no longer necessary and the dressings covering her chest wound were removed.

At this point the respiratory staff were starting to minimize Ava's dependence on the ventilator and she was started on feeds through a nasogastric (NG) feeding tube.
