POST OP DAY 4 & 5!

POST OP DAY # 5


Tear filled eyes, burning up with a fever of 40C and feeling just Yukky!
Ava's fever spiked to 40C during the night and again this am! Spoke with the on call plastic surgeon at Sick Kids during the night, suggested as long as her fever is responding to Tylenol, Motrin then wait til am and see my own Pediatrician. Called this am and got an appt. for 11am.


Fast asleep after seeing Pediatrician. Says her ears and mouth look fine. Thought her chest sounded somewhat reduced, did chest xray and is now on antibiotics for the next 10 days.



Home and still feeling pretty "rough"...spent most of her waking hours in the snuggly. Hoping to see a big change after a few doses of antibiotics. All this crying, whining is so not like Ava!


POST OP DAY # 4




Just hanging out in her jammies...still not feeling up to par! Still continues to run a low grade fever off and on. Happiest in her chair watching "signing time"!

Oh Liz she looks so sad and like you said, "just not herself". She looks pretty cozy hanging out with mommy in the snuggly though - how's the back? :)

Hang in there - hope she's feeling better really soon.

What a sweetie. Sorry to hear about her fever. Hopefully it will drop soon. It's wonderful that she still fits in the snuggly and can be comforted in mommy's arms.

((hugs)) for you and your sweetie

That card blew me away. Big smooches to you. That little firefly has blossomed into the girl that is going to change the world one day.
Her pics talk to me more than those of my own children. The feelings are eery. She is so unbelievably beautiful.
I hope this whole experience brings you closer each day.
Thinking of you

Poor sweet Ava. I hate seeing her in those arm splints. I hope the fever disappears soon. I'm glad you took her to the pediatrician.
