Ava part 2

It is now November. Time waits for no one. We are all moving forward. We have no choice. I want to update about Ava and her progress. She was making terrific progress the past few weeks. She was eating from the bottle for all of her feedings. We thought this was wonderful. Then last week she went into spasms or seizures. After a day of waiting, watching, then waiting at the doctors office, they prescribed phenobarbital to keep them from happening again. She was given something at the office to stop the seizure. Needless to say, this was Heart Wrenching for us all. I was visiting other two daughters and families out West for a week. I almost came home when this all happened, but realized that I needed to remain where I was. The other two deserve to have my attention too. Ava's Mom continues to leave me awe stricken. She is fantastically strong. We continue on, taking each day as it comes. We are blessed with every day we get with Ava. That will never change. She is our Angel, our Joy. We adore her. Her big brother is so gentle and loving with her. Now we learned today that the older daughter, our firstborn is expecting her second child, sibling to Big Brother who just turned 4 in October. Wow, time waits for no one! Baby will be due around end of June or first week of July. We are all moving forward. We are updated. Ava is fine. We are coping. This is the most difficult time of our Lives. We continue to move on. Bless you and yours,
