Things are going really well at home today. We slept until around 10:00 only waking once to take all the medication. Ella Grace is down to just Tylenol, blood pressure medication, and a fluid medication. Not too bad!
She has been playing hard all day. Usually at this point, Ella would have taken 2 naps. One after breakfast and one after lunch. But today, after the surgery, she hasn’t stop moving! We are so glad to see her new-found energy.
We gave Ella a bath earlier which was a little tricky. Natalie and I will have to tag-team this for a while until her wounds heal up. When she got out of the tub we added a few sterile strips on top of her chest tube holes because they were leaking a little blood. Now they seem just fine.
I think I’m going to head back to work for a few hours tomorrow. I want to thank my co-worker Gary for holding the whole thing down while I’ve been gone!
And thank you guys for your continued support through all of this. The blog is reaching the 7,500 mark so I’ll keep updating it with her progress and added more photos. God bless!
