We woke up this morning, Ava's oxygen levels were low 88-90% so she was put on 1/2 liter of oxygen. This kept her levels greater than 90%, most of the time 98-100%. She wasn't crazy about the oxygen in her nose, but she didn't have a choice.
Ava's IV was painful for her when it flushed, but it flushed good and her leg didn't puff up. The NICU nurse that was taking care of her, walked through all the steps a good nurse should while looking and feeling all over her leg saying there is no redness, swelling, only discomfort. I was in LOVE with her!!
We met with the pediatrician, and I told her Ava's story since birth with her colds, eye infection, pyloric stenosis and surgery, and now the pneumonia. To top off her pneumonia, Ava has an bright red and painful diaper rash, so we are going to treat it with antifungal and a stronger barrier cream. The dr also mentioned hearing a heart murmur, so she is going to have an echocardiogram. She will also have a CT scan because it wasn't clear if she had a thymus on any of her chest xrays.
Ava managed to get her oxygen out of her nose and flipped around. She reminded me of a horned snake.
Now that all the tests have been done, we are now waiting for the results.
