Well today we took our little Ava to see her pediatrician for her one week check. Ava's statistics are.. Weight: 9lbs 8oz, Length 21 inches ( she actually shrunk due to the loss of her cone head!!). We also learned some sad but expected news, due to Ava's large size and the very rough delivery she has a broken collar bone on the left side!!! When Ava's Dr visited us in the hospital she had suspected that she may have broke it, but needed to wait until the bones were more firm to really tell. And that day came today. We got the x-rays and it is plane as day. I was so sad and upset. And poor Ava did not like the x-ray on the cold table either. The Dr believes that nothing will need to be done and that it should heal on its own. However she still is referring us to see a orthopedic surgeon just to check. Our appointment is scheduled for Monday, we will keep you posted on the outcomes!
Other than that she is doing great!! She gets more beautiful as each day goes by. She is eating so well and gaining weight, that I can start feeding her every 3 hours instead of every 2! I am so thrilled about this, just that small adjustment may let me sleep a little bit more each day hopefully. Until next time Ava sends all her love!!
