All good news to share this morning.

Ella is sustaining on the new ventilator incredibly well. They took a blood gas this morning – – it was too good (cO2 = 47, pO2= 223). The amount of oxygen in her blood was surprisingly high, so Dr. Kays reduced the assisted oxygen on the ventilator from 60% to 50%. This is amazing progress for Ella.

Also, her fluids are still decreasing. A total of 145 for yesterday, down from 215 (the highest was 892 last week).

Thanks so much for the prayers that continue for sweet Ella.

Deuteronomy 10:20-22
20 Fear the LORD your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name. 21 He is your praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes.

Hey there,
Ellla looks fabulous and we’re praising God for her good week! Any updates on how the swelling in her head is doing and whether or not she will need a new balloon procedure? We keep praying and also praising the Lord, too : )

I love these updates! I check in a couple of times a day, then call my dad with updates. Praise God for Ella’s healing and progress and Dr. Kay’s wisdom and knowledge. God is good! Enjoy every minute! Thanking God with you!

All I can say is – WOW…
PRAISE GOD!!
That is so awesome. I am so excited about Ella’s great report. I am continuing to pray that things continue going in the right direction. Hopefully you will be able to talk with Dr. Kay soon so you can get some of your questions answered and you know what you have to look forward to.
Keep on putting one foot in front of the other. God is good and he hears all of our prayers. He continues to hold Ella in his healing hands.
Have a great day and don’t forget about yourselves. Stay strong!!
Love, Melissa

Ella is kicking some serious BUTT

“Sugar. Spice. And everything Nice.These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girls. But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction… Chemical X. Thus the Powerpuff Girls were born! Using their ultra-superpowers, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup have dedicated their lives to fighting crime and the forces of evil.”

Don’t ask me why I just thought it was fitting!

Best Regards, LL

Next step from ventilator – Nasal Canula. Then breathing normal air! We are thrilled to see her progress. She is getting stronger! Pretty soon, you will get to hold that precious little one… I am waiting for that picture.

Remember how precious it was to finally change a diaper this week in about a year from now. =)

Much love to all

Dana
