Who is Averie?

Averie passed away Sunday November 13th at 3:33am due to complications of her mitochondrial disorder. My beautiful princess is finally healed and in heaven with her brother :)

Averie is a crazy, beautiful, smart energetic 7 year old who keeps everyone on their toes! Averie has been fighting Alpers since her first seizure in 2004 at the age of 4. Her older brother passed away from Alpers when she was just 1. Just recently she became a big sister for the first time! Averie is strong willed and stubborn...I believe that's what keeps her going on the days her disorder creates obstacles for her. She is my special little girl who I love one cow, two moons and three fences big!

Rough morning...

So they tried to extubate Averie this morning. She was over breathing the vent by significant amounts. Unfortunately the process didn't go as planned. Averie would not breathe on her own and they were forced to reintubate...now the machine is doing most of the work again. Hoping today she levels out and we can try in a day or two. She is also much more shakey today..again we need to be patient as the pento levels come down and the pheno levels go up.  I'm missing my girl so much....be patient is HARD!!!
