I have been putting off this post for a while. However, there is no denying it. B"H, Avigayil is improving! One day she was sick. All week she continued to deteriorate. Finally on that Thursday the doctor said that we had no choice but to bring her into the hospital. She was not breathing well and she had been crying or hours. I took her off her machine and put her on O2 for the trip to the ER. Immediately she stopped crying. On the way to the hospital her breathing started to improve. By the time we got to triage her saturation where normal and by the time she was in a bed she was sitting up and playing with the doctors. It was nothing short of a miracle.
We went home on only O2 and on Sunday weened her from that. Since that day 6 weeks ago, she has mostly been breathing on her own. She has needed less medications and has not gone back on the machine since that day. She only uses the oxygen a few time a week.
As soon as she got off the machine, Hashem saw fit to show us another miracle. Avigayil is eating almost all of her meals by mouth. She only uses the tube when she is too tired or is sick. Once she started doing so she started to gain weight as well. She put on an amazing half a kilo in 3 weeks!!
We still are waiting to hear back from the cardiologist about her heart study and tomorrow we will go to the orthopedic board to decide about leg braces (I hope they will say no). I will try to keep you updated more frequently. May Avigayil continue to improve and may all of klal yisroel continue to see such nissim!!
