Ariella update - January 30, 2016

Hello Team Ella,

Another day and our angel stayed mostly the same. Friday night into Saturday morning was difficult for both mom and Ella. She had several episodes of desating, that's when the percentage of oxygen in her bloods drops below 90, these episodes typically involve some kind of intervention, usually suctioning. Becuase she had so much difficulty overnight she did not get any breaks during from her treatments, which made her very tired during the day yesterday. Having said that Ella did rally later in the day. We were able to back down on the amount of oxygen support she was receiving through her ventilator due to her challenging night, on the other hand we increased the amout of pressure she is getting in the hopes that we can pop open the collapsed portion of her right lung. In spite of everything our baby has had to deal with she continues to remain in good spirits. She had two fun visits yesterday and got to spend some good time with mom. She is a remarkable child, truly a special gift from God. By taking one day at a time, we are all more than conquerors.
