I realize it has been some time since our last posting. Our precious little warrior has been fighting off a cold the last several days. Thank God it has not been anything too serious, but the extra mucus and runny nose has presented some challenges for the baby overnight. Because her nose is running she has been getting post nasal drip down the back of her throat while she is sleeping, which has resulted in her vomiting when she gets her treatments and suctioning. It hasn't been an issue during the day and we are happy to report it has been better the last two nights. We believe God that the cold is passing and Ella is doing much better. We also wanted to let you know that Ella's eating training and speech pathology appointments are going very well. She has been able to actually eat very small amounts of baby food and has been clearing her own secretions if/when she gets junky. That is one of the most exciting developments in her overall improvement and it is a reason to give God great praise.
