(no tubes after her heart surgery!)
monday night update:ellie is just doing wonderfully. :) she had a nice relaxing day, well, kind of relaxing. we tried a bottle with her at 11 but she would not wake up no matter what we did. maybe tomorrow she will get another chance. she pulled her feeding tube at least twice today so they tried to get it down her nose instead of her mouth but matt said she fought that like crazy so they will just put it down her mouth again whenever she pulls it out. :) they weaned her a little bit on the oxygen today and lowered the pressure flowing into her nose by just a smidge. it took a little more effort to breathe after that, but she needs to learn sometime so eventually she can come home with us!
her little incisions from friday's surgery look good. she has three small, 3 mm long, incisions under her left arm pit and just needed skin glue to seal them. the doctor assured us we would barely be able to see them after they were healed. amazing what they can do on a 5 lb. 13 oz. baby.
i love that i continue to write about ellie progressing instead of staying in the same place. we continue to ask God for complete healing of ellie and that even her seizures would just stop. His will is being done as He has shown us for the last 6 weeks that He is the one who is in complete control.
love-
matt and abbie
