Getting Closer!!!???

They started weaning Ava's vent settings. The earliest she can come off is later tonight, but she probably will not come off until tomorrow or so, and that is only if she tolerates it of course. The poor baby has been so upset when she wakes up today. The doctors started weaning her drugs again, after going back up yesterday. She is probably waiting for her feedings to start back up as well. My poor baby girl acts like she is starving when daddy cleans her mouth. She starts sucking the water out of the thing Nate uses to clean off her lips and the inside of her mouth. She is also a little on the puffy side again...they had to give her more fluids and blood early this morning. Hopefully the puffiness will go down again, soon. I am getting so anxious to hold her again and for some crazy reason...put clothes on her and give her a bath and brush her hair. It must be the "having a girl syndrome."
