Memorial Day Memories...





Nothing major to report from the weekend crew at ACH. We had lunch at hospital with Mimi and a friend. Avery had a few more SVT's last night, but they kept it under control. They also turned on the oscillator for her lungs and went down on her Ecmo circuit a couple of notches...great news! I saw Dr. Seib in the cafe' and he had good things to say about her progress. We have friends and family coming to visit tomorrow and other than that we are really trying to let her rest her little eyes and lungs. We saw her stitches from the CDH repair for the first time(pic above) and I don't think she will ever be able to tell she had surgery when she gets to her "bikini" years!! All in all we are staying positive and continuing to lean on each other. Thanks to all and have a blessed Memorial Weekend.

    She sure is a fighter, isn't she??? I'm so proud of all of y'all. You're being so strong. I hope when the twins are born, we'll be able to have this much strength!

    So pleased to hear the good news!!! You may not remember me, but I was friends with Liz Welter while we were at Rampart HS. She told me about little Avery and I have been praying ever since. I'm trusting God for a miracle.
