Greetings more than conquerors. Today was Ella's first full day with her new tracheotomy. She had one brief occurrence of desaturation, but rebounded immediately with the side of some suctioning. The big priority for today was pain management. Our angel was clearly uncomfortable and acting anxious most of the day. Mom worked worn the medical staff to develop a pain management schedule that world help our baby rest and recover.
She also had a very special visit with her cousins today. She loves playing with her Jackson.
While it is still early, there are some initial indications that she will do well with her trach. Not even six hours after surgery yesterday Ella was eating pizza sauce by mouth. We haven't been able to give her anything by mouth for a month and a half, but just hours after getting her trach she gets to eat something for the first time in weeks.
I don't know what the future holds but I know my baby's future looks bright.
We are all more than conquerors.
