2 Weeks Old & She Opened Her Eyes!!

Age: 2 weeks
Gestational Age: 25w5d
Weight:1lb 3oz

Today Ava is 2 weeks old!  During the morning hands-on with her nurse, she opened her eyes!!  She opened them again when I got there and the nurse was letting me help with the afternoon hands-on.  Yay for the little milestones!

They were able to turn her oxygen back down to 33%.  Surgery for the PDA will either be Friday or Monday...waiting for the surgeon to confirm the date.  She was being a little diva today...didn't want anyone messing with her. Everytime we opened the bed her oxygen would drop.  She was able to recover on her own, but it's still an uneasy feeling. She had to receive blood yesterday and today.  They had to do a lot of tests (labs) yesterday so they were replacing what they took.  Other than that, we're just waiting for the surgery.

  1. It was providential to have met you today, and Abby and I will be praying for tomorrow's surgery, and for Ava to thrive.
