Ava hasn't had much change through the night. She is continuing to throw up after each feeding, whether it is breastmilk or pedialyte. So today she is allowed to have 5-10ml of breastmilk via syringe. The thought is...she may get more nutrients out of the breastmilk than she will the pedialyte, since either way she is going to puke it up. She has had some high blood pressures since her admission which we are unsure why. We are going to be doing 3 sets of arm and leg blood pressures today to see if they remain constant and may do an echocardiogram tomorrow if they are still high throughout the day. Tomorrow she will be having an abdominal ultrasound and upper GI and small bowel series. Hopefully those will give us some answers as to why she is throwing up. Please keep praying for her!!
Me giving Ava her 5ml of breastmilk. It's almost like clock work, an hour later and I am wearing it.
This balloon came from one of the patients on med-surg. He kept hearing Ava cry and wanted to give her the balloon, so that is how we ended up with it. I think I enjoyed it more than she did, and it brightened my days a lot. So, thank you stranger next door!
She is now fed, burped...
and off to sleep...for an hour or so.
Ava is a beautiful baby girl! We will be praying!!
