Surprisingly good

We have been amazed at how fast Ava seems to be recovering! She was taken off oxygen today and kept her saturation up in the 98% range. That is a remarkable saturation for so soon after surgery. They took two IV's out and she only has one left. She didn't have to be on any heavy narcotics all day long, though they might give her some for the night since the night is the worst time for pain. She waved, pointed, clapped, said mama, and watched baby einstein. She absolutely loves baby einstein, especially on-the-go. We were indulgent and let her watch it 2 times. If everything goes as well as today she could possibly leave this weekend. We hope she does! We will be happy to leave the hospital. Thanks to all who have kept us in your thoughts and prayers. Ava has a lot of love around her which makes the weight of these things not so heavy.

I love this post! So glad to hear she is getting back to herself so quickly. I'm also praying that this will be the last of major surgeries for her. I know she'll still have the expansion surgeries, though. I can't wait until I can see her again!
