Hello Ava friends and followers! Thanks for all the prayers.
Ava is feeling better! We are still waiting on the holter monitoring test results but her blood work came back "normal". We (our local doctor and I) strongly feel that the antibiotic Zithromax caused this decrease in her heart rate. It lowered her heart rate 20-40 beats slower per minute. Zithromax stays in your system for about 5 days after you take the last pill. Her dose was 250 mgs, one pill a day for 5 days. She has been on this drug before and never had a problem. It boggles my mind... this antibiotic is a really good drug to help clear infections out of Ava's lungs. I can be thankful that during this last cold she wasn't that bad. If her lungs would have been weak and she would have had this low heart rate things could have gotten bad really fast.
I have to stay on top of things and I thank God that He gives us tools like monitors and Mother's intuition to know that... well things just aren't right! It is not like Ava to lay around and fall asleep. Our Ava is always hopping and bopping and driving us nuts. She sings! She dances! She is an active, happy girl! We are happy to see her active again!
We really appreciate all your love, support and prayers!
