Another Tube

This morning Ava got another drainage tube to help get rid of the fluid built up around her left lung. It seems to be helping...there has been a good output. She also looks a little less puffy, I guess her protein levels were low (which would make her puffy) so they started her on another med to help with that. They hope to extibate by tomorrow...we will see.

Nate and Kaden made it in last night. I really think Kaden would rather be home. Last night when we were leaving the hospital, Kaden signed home. Poor guy...but he's being such a trooper about it all. Right now he is watching his ever so loved Oswald video with the baby. Actually, he is watching it and Ava is enjoying a nap in her bed warmer. What a great big brother to "share" his favorite video with his sissy.

I love hearing how sweet Kaden is. What a great big brother!! Kids are so amazing. I'm glad to hear that the extra tube is helping and I will pray that she gets that vent off tomorrow. Anything you need at the hospital for YOU? Below is my email address if you ever need anything...

Love,
