Chest Tube Incisions Looking Better
Ella had a great day today. She is doing well even though she has been confined to this house for over 1 week now; what a trooper! Tomorrow she will be visiting Dr. Yeiser for a checkup. The chest tube incisions are starting to look a lot better. We’ll get Dr. Yeiser’s opinion tomorrow around…

We’re Home

Ella Grace enjoyed going outside today! (note: She is wearing extra wires in this photo because the wireless vitals pack required adult wires and we didn’t want to remove her pediatric wires… she didn’t even know she had them on.)
Coming Home Tomorrow
We should be headed for Owensboro tomorrow. Doctor said that 98% possibility we’ll be driving to Owensboro around lunchtime. Can’t wait to get home!
