NICU, day 11 and more

sigh, today was not really a good day. Avery is back on the cpap, which is to be expected because she is so young. She is not really tolerating her feedings anymore (they have her at 7ml every 3hrs) and her tummy has a lot of air in it so we weren't even able to hold her. It really sucked but i guess that is just minor in the grand scheme of things. They put her on her belly and are really hoping that she has a big poop tonight to pass things along. Tonight she is also going to get her last dose of a diuretic to make her pee more. She doesn't look puffy at all anymore so that is good. We wont get to do her footprints until she gets her PICC line out, which kind of sucks because i was hoping to get them done while they are still small. She also had quite a few de-sats today, which the nurse said could be do to her tummy being the way it is right now. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.
On the way home from Modesto, from visiting Avery our car decided it no longer wanted to shift gears or drive really. We are pretty sure that it is the catalytic converter or the exhaust is plugged or something. Being that this is the only car we have, we no longer have a way to get to and from the hospital to see Avery. Just typing that out makes me cry, i have no idea when we can afford to get the car fixed so that means i have no idea when we will be able to go visit Avery again. Phillip and I have always known that we have horrible luck, the only thing we have every had happen good to us was our girls.
