Our angel continues to do well. Ariella had a good day, but started to experience some real challenges during the evening into her overnight ventilation treatment. Around 5 o'clock this evening she started to get kind of junky from her mucus and secretions. The later it got the more agitated the baby became and as a result her mucus and secretions got worse. By time her respiratory treatment came along at 8 she was full of a lot of mucus in her throat and lungs. Fortunately for us one of Ella's favorite respiratory therapists, Geronimo, was available to administer her treatment. He is very thorough and attentive with Ariella. He was able to remove quite a lot of the mucus from her lungs and once he placed her on the breathing mask she immediately went to sleep. We bless God and are grateful for Geronimo for helping our baby to fall asleep peacefully.
