Ava had a dr appt today to check her weight and find out more about this nasty cough she has had, that has gotten worse since surgery, on the 16th. She weighs 8 lbs. 4 oz. which is up one ounce since surgery. So Yay! She is going in the right direction. However, she has developed crackles in her lungs, so we went to Gritman for a chest xray. Come to find out she has pneumonia (most likely aspriation) in her middle and lower right lung. Ava was started on antibiotics and she really loves sucking the medicine out of the syringe.
On another note she has developed a lump under her right side incision. I am pretty sure it was there when we left the hospital, but the dr is going to talk to the surgeon to find out if that is part of the laproscopic technique or a hernia. More on that after I talk to the dr.
