Sleep

Day 3

For the most part, Ava has been sleeping the whole day. She had a blood transfusion today and that seemed to help her. She was so pale and has a little coloring back. The nurses are pretty impressed with Ava. They say she is a superstar because there is such a strain on her body right now and she is compensating for most of the deficiencies completely on her own without any extra support. She breathes harder and faster to do this, but she does it and the nurses are very amazed. We are glad she is sleeping, it is better for her not to be awake during so much pain. A little earlier she woke up and her mouth was so dry, so we gave her water soaked on little sponge lollipops and she loved it.
