Avalon Today (May 7, 2014)

We had another scare with Avalon having another SVT attack yesterday morning. They were able to get her back to normal with ice again. But now they have started her on beta blockers to help prevent it from happening again. Hopefully she tolerates them well. My poor little thing. They have also decided (with my encouragement) to take the fortifier out of her bottle feeds of my milk to see if this will help her reflux which in turn (we hope) will help her apnea.

She did great during the night and today. She didn't have any significant ABD spells and no more SVT's. She is also having fewer small dips. So that's encouraging. Hopefully the trend continues :)

I got her a special reclining bassinet rocker in the hope that it will help her reflux when she comes home as well. I brought it to the hospital today so she could try it and see how she does and also so the doctors can see what she'll be in once she comes home. I'm really excited about it. She seems to really like it so far and did great in it while I was there with her. Fingers crossed! Day 1 of countdown (again) is today!

You can't really tell from the picture but she is at a pretty good incline. I'll have to take a picture from the side tomorrow.
