Ava slept most of the night again with only a brief period of night-time fuss.
Ava's morning weight came in at 3.6 kilograms.
The morning labs revealed that Ava's blood counts drastically improved from the previous day due to the transfusion which took place the evening before. All other markers like electrolytes and white blood cell count were within normal levels as well. Still Ava has not come back positive for MRSA.
The surgeon who performed the first surgery stopped by and actually applauded by how well Ava looked and how everything was progressing now. He was further pleased by how Ava was tolerating her feeds with the CorPak and ordered a systematic increase in the amount of feeds given to her each hour, with the goal being to get to 13cc per hour.
If Ava can keep tolerating her feeds as the staff increases the volume, the intravenous fluids (TPN) can be stopped.
Ava was still receiving Heparin for the clot therapy, but there were some preliminary discussions about switching her over to baby aspirin or some other medication that she can go home with. The echo scheduled for Monday will further guide what action they take.
For majority of the day, Ava rested. Overall, the day was pretty uneventful until in the evening when we were moved to a standard hospital room again.
The hope is that by having a room verses the openness of the pod that she can rest easier while us getting some much needed privacy.
Once we settled into our new homestead, we all went to sleep.
Though today was pretty uneventful, we were pleased because we have had enough excitement to last the next 18 years.
