God has blessed us with another regular ole good day. Ariella's noon treatment went well, including placing the smaller the mask on her, which she absolutely doesn't like at all and getting her to nap. She woke up at a couple of different points between noon and four, however she went back to sleep after a little while each time she woke up. Mom and dad got some good play time in during the afternoon into the evening. After Ella's bath both mom and dad started and completed her entire respiratory treatment, including mom doing some deep suctioning, which was huge. And mom did a really good job with the suctioning. She feel asleep almost immediately once we got the large mask on her. We did have some trouble during the overnight treatments where the baby threw-up a little bit while receiving the cough assist treatment. Fortunately it was not a lot and mom was there to help out, but it also meant that we were all awake from about 4 - 5:30 am, actually mom was up earlier than that. Her vomiting also lead us to have a conversation with the doctors about limiting the use of the cough-assist machine while she is sleeping overnight. That aside our little warrior had a good day.
