As of this morning, Avery is better. Her belly is softer and not bleeding as much. She is still peeing good which suggests her kidney function is good. The plan as of today is to start to ween her ECMO and do a trial off tomorrow sometime. When we left this morning she was responding well to a breathing treatment that will hopefully help her lungs expand. The team caring for Avery continues to stay positive and focused on getting our little girl stronger.
All of this is so hour to hour and day to day. Everything changes in an instant and we are all riding the waves.
