Cold

Ella is slowly getting better. We so far have only had to visit the suction booth at the hospital 2 days out of 7. The first day they wanted to admit to the hospital, but we tried all we could to get liquids down her so we wouldn't be admitted. It wasnt easy and I thought for sure she would get admitted. But on Day 2 she ended up having wet diapers and able to get hydrated. The suction booth has a scale of 0, 1, 2, 3  with 0 being in great shape and 3 being in bad shape. Ella was placed as a 1 on both days. Meaning that her oxygen level is not great but well enough to keep her out of being admitted. Ellas small cold is a viral respiratory infection that an antibiotic wont help. So the shot of antibiotics she received will only help her ear infection. Which she hasn't shown any sign of them being infected still.  If she starts showing signs we will have to go get a second shot of antibiotic. We have missed so much PT, but as time goes by she is learning things on her own. She sat up for a few minutes yesterday for the first time all by herself with no help. So now she is semi crawling (scooting) and sitting up a little. Next month we are going to have a 6 month review with Kauri Sue to go over what goals she has met and what she hasnt. At the first of the 6 months I made goals that I would like to see Ella meet. We havent met some of them but for having an delay, having 2 surgeries shes doing very well and I know she will continue to amaze us. Keep your prayers out there I strongly believe that they are helping Ella. Love to all!
