Slow Day : )


Today we got to the hospital and got a great report. Every morning you get up and go to the hospital not knowing what to expect. Yesterday we got here and immediately they started preparing us for her surgery with at least 4 doctors walking around us conferring and looking at echos of Ella's heart. The rest of the day was a whirlwind of activity and machinery beeping because of oxygen saturation, lungs reviving again (they had to push the lung aside to get to the PDA) and overall surgery recovery.

But today is a new day with good levels all around. They took Ella off of the extra medicine that they were trying to use to fix the PDA and they also took off the phototherepy (bright lights) for jaundice. VERY EXCITING!

It is a good day to give thanks and praise!
