Thurs 12/25/08 - - Christmas Day

Ava is our "Christmas Miracle".

She continues to fight (sometimes physically through sedation efforts) and show signs that she is gaining the upper-hand against the infection.

Again, the morning echo showed a strong heart with no reoccurring vegetation on the valve.

The chest tubes that were inserted during her second surgery were also removed - - a major indication that she recovering nicely from the surgery. She is still pretty swollen at this point, but is starting to break down the fluid and rid it via urine output.

The day was filled with visitors from grandparents to great grandparents; aunts, uncles, and cousins to her great ones. It was nice to have the support from both sides of Ava's family present to show their support in true Christmas spirit and fashion.
