Today we finally reached the 2lb mark! She's 918 grams...up 100 grams from 2 nights ago (maybe cause she got blood today).
Over the weekend we had a scare of NEC, but as of now the doctors are no longer worried about it. They did stop her feeds to be safe and should restart them late Wed or Thur. She also had to get more blood today. Since they were getting blood for labs so much over the weekend she was a little low.
Sunday night she decided to pull her ET tube out (breathing tube). The nurses decided to leave it out and see how she would handle it. She did good for about an hour but it was too much work for her. She had such a stressful weekend with the NEC scare, otherwise I think she would have done better. They are still weaning her from the vent and hope that they will get her off of it soon.
Other than that she's doing good!
I'm so happy to hear an update on Ava. What an attitude pulling that ET tube out. Keep fighting little one!
