Update on Doctors Appointments

Last week Ava had 2 appointments...one with the Hematologist and one with the Pulmnologist.  Both went great!!  The hematologist wants to see her at the end of March to check to see if she is a carrier of Sickle Cell, since Will has the trait.  Her platlette count was good at 204K, so he isn't too concerned about that anymore.

The Pulmnologist gave her her 3rd Synagis shot (a vaccine for RSV).  Ava will get these shots every month until April and next year during RSV season (Sept-Apr).  You can learn more about RSV here.  She said we can start to wean Ava off the O2 by turning it off for 10min a day.  When we go back next month they will try her off of it for 45min to an hour.

Ava goes back to the eye doctor on Wed for her 3 week follow up.
