Ella's Afternoon Update


Good evening everyone!  Hope you all had a great day!  I got an Ella update this afternoon and wanted to share with everyone.

They tried to wean Ella of the ventilator today.  The doctor's felt that she was still breathing just a little too fast, which is a sign to them that she is just not quite ready to loose it yet!  Abbey said that she and the doctor got a good laugh because Ella's respiratories were around 80 today.  Before surgery they were MUCH higher than that!  So, yes, Ella was breathing a little fast but, she has shown GREAT improvement in this area.  Please remember that she is barely using the ventilator but, she is using it.  They are going to let her rest tonight and try again tomorrow.

Other than that, Abbey said she really likes Ella's nurse today.  It appears (from the picture above) that Ella has been getting some pampering today!

Prayer Request
Please pray that Ella is able to "kick" her ventilator tomorrow.  Pray for a good nights rest for Ella and her Mommy. 

Thank's for stopping by to check on Ella.  Have a good night!
-Heather
