Oh So Close

Reports this morning continue to be good for Avery Mae. Everyone is cautious as decisions are made, but overall we are getting closer to thinking about getting Avery off of ECMO. Her ECMO setting is down to what the team considers "idle". We will possibly do a trial run off of ECMO this afternoon. I am anxious and scared, but trying to be patient. It may take several trials before she is actually taken off completely. I know that Avery is in charge and so I am trying to just stay calm.

I am still trying to heal. I am moving slowly but getting things done for the most part. My mom is still with us, and her help has been a life saver. I will let you all know as soon as we get a better idea of how Avery responds to the adjustments to ECMO.
