Well, it's Monday afternoon and Ava is a day and a half old and still holding her own. They have kept her on C-PAP and are talking about briefly intubating her to give her surfactant to help keep the aveoli open in her lungs. This will help her with her breathing, if they decide to do it. She has a feeding tube and has been tolerating Thlay's breast milk very well, eating everything Thlayla pumps. Thlay was able to hold Ava on her chest for an hour this morning and is over the moon in love with her baby. I am in love as well. Hoping for a great outcome! Thlayla is amazing. She's up and walking. She walked all the way down to the NICU, which is about a football field away from her room. Jeff is amazing and so are his folks. They've had Cam since last Monday and are in for the long haul to make everything work We feel blessed everywhere we turn. Thanks for your well wishes and prayers ~ ~Weyshawn(Mom)
