recovery road starts here...

Dr. Brenner is please with Ella so far.... She woke up long enough this morning to ask her Mom to leave and Auntie and Papa to come in that is kids for ya.....

Right now she is not tolerating any liquids or food not even ice chips and water the goal for the day is to have her sit up.

Although she is draining well there is still lots of flem in there, but she is still requiring O2. Once weened from the O2 the draining process should continue quicker and make liquids something she can handle.

Hopefully she'll be out of the PICU by the end of the week.
Jay stayed awake and watched her last night, Nik says he is a little punchy after no sleep for 24 hours... look out hospital tonight is Nik's turn on the night shift....

She is loving everyone's comment as I read them to her and says Hello to all of you.
