Answered Prayers

Once again, God has answered our prayers and Ava did great through the bronchoscopy.  They even sent her home shortly afterwards so we didn't end up having an overnight as we planned on!  We arrived around 12:30pm to check in.  After waiting a while, meeting with a same-day surgery nurse, taking vitals, meeting with the ENT doctor, and meeting with anesthesia, she finally got taken into the OR around 2:30pm.  About an hour later the ENT doctor came and visited with us, telling us that everything looked really good and that she had removed some granulation tissue to open her airway more.  She showed us pictures of her airway and told us that we could most likely go home.  After another 45 minutes or so they came and got us because Ava was awake and was going to go back to the same-day surgery area for discharge!!!  She was smiley when she saw us but soon became very sleepy again.  She was a trooper through it all and slept well at home last night.  We are so blessed to have her in our lives and so thankful to have such a merciful, powerful God!!!

Waiting for the doctor to come visit us before the procedure.  Such a cute little hospital gown!

This is normally nap time so while she waited her turn, she slept in mommy's arms.

After the procedure when they brought Ava to "Reunion Avenue" to meet mommy and daddy!
