Averi is still under the phototherapy lights. She has developed a rash and a fever. They think both are caused by the lights. Please pray that his is the case, and that it isn't some sort of infection and/or allergic reaction. They are now taking her gases every 6-8 hours so that she can regenerate her own blood. It seems to be working. They are also trying to wean her from the nitric oxide and have reduced her O2 from 90 to 85. This didn't go well, it is now back up to 87. She started at 95. Just for point of reference, room air--the air that you and I breathe--is around 21% oxygen.
They are now waiting for the next round of tests.
Continue to pray for Kevin, Teresa, and family. CDH really is a roller coaster ride. It probably sounds cliché by now, but it really is an apt descriptor. There is no predictable pattern as to what is around the next bend.
We are praying for everyone....praying for continued healing for a successful surgery. You are all in our thoughts. What a beautiful little girl!!!
