I just spoke with Shane and he seemed pretty encouraged by some news he had gotten from a Neonatologist. It seems like everyone is quite pleasantly surprised by Avery's endurance and strength.
Her ECMO support has been weaned down to a moderate level, so she is doing quite a bit of work on her own. She is still battling pulmonary hypertension, but that is pretty much the norm for babies with CDH.
The doctor said he has only seen one other baby survive under the circumstances that Avery has, but he is quite optimistic about her strength and says they plan to take things one day at a time. There is talk of trying to take her off of ECMO in three days to a week.
So, it's good news today. Avery is kickin' butt and takin' names!!! Bless her sweet, little heart.
Keep up the prayers!
