Ella's update - February 23, 2016

To say they things are going well would be a slight understatement. Ella is making great progress. She continues to receive occupational and physical therapy daily along with speech pathology. She has been introduced to a new device called a prone stander that allows her to stand up with assistance. This has been exceptionally beneficial, not only for her muscular development, but also for her psychology. Ella has become more comfortable with her trach and more importantly she is open to allowing us to do the necessary maintenance and interventions to ensure that it stays clean, sterile and functional.

Additionally, in typical Ariella fashion she is winning the hearts of her nurses and therapists. One of her nurses, Miss Lucy, is responsible for the beautiful braid that you see in the picture. We are grateful for a dedicated and compassionate team of health care professionals that are going to help us us get our baby back home very soon. Continue to pray that with each day she grows stronger and we grow more competent so that we can all be home soon. We are all more than conquerors.
