She's in the clear....so far so good:)

I'm glad I had the time to post some more current pics. If I have time I will post some camping/4th of July pics too.

Ava had a good day today, she was a little bit fussy and is still on pain meds and sleeping a ton of the day. We still don't have our surgery set up so not sure which day it will fall on if she is cleared of any infection this week.

They took blood today and checked her CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) and so far so good!! There is no sign of infection yet (she will be checked the next 2-3 days as well). Her sodium level is a little off now that the shunted fluid is being removed instead of drained into her tummy like when the shunt is internalized. Her little wrists are all swollen and puffy.

All in all, the doctors today thought that Ava seemed to be progressing well and they weren't expressing any additional concerns. We'll keep you posted...
