5:41am Talked to the nurse a little bit ago. Sounds like Avelyn had a good night! O2 and CO2 are where they need to be, pH is less acidic, ventilator settings are improving, lasix is helping with urine output, had one poopy diaper, bilirubin did go up but nurse said this is typical after removing the lamp -hopefully they will still keep it off (will decide in the morning), weight went up 1 oz but last time with lasix it seems it took a good day before she actually lost weight/fluid, and electrolytes looked good. Thank you God for a good night!!!
And my favorite of the night, Ave's nurse Kristyn whom we asked to be one of Avelyn's regular nurses when she works, asked what theme we have for Ave's nursery. I told her we are throwing a little splash of yellow into the theme because of the fun decor our life group had for our surprise shower a couple weeks ago.--I told her the theme of it was 'You are my Sunshine' and she said, "oh my gosh, I have been singing that to her!" (And I have sung it to her, as well.) So thankful and blessed by this!! So nice to have our baby girl in such good hands. Kristyn is a great nurse, seems like a great person, and is also a Christian. So thankful she can be there and take care of Avelyn when we can't. Also thought it was fun that she shared that Avelyn was opening her eyes more tonight and she is getting a little more fiesty and active (which Josh & I noticed yesterday too). :) She actually pulled off one of her wires tonight, I guess.--Love that fight in little Ave; as her personality continues to emerge, we will see if we are going to have another spirit filled, love for life, full of energy & pep Aili type personality in our household!! ;)
