Quiet Weekend


Ella has been doing very well since her surgery on Friday. Not many changes and she has remained stable. This however does not mean that she doesn't stress her parents out with a few brady epidsodes or drops in her blood pressure. The staff here are very good at clearing up these issues very quickly and Ella doesn't seem to be too disturbed by these moments. She did need to get another transfusion last night since her platelette levels have dropped a bit...but this is to be expected given the healing process her little body is going through. We continue to keep a close watch on her tummy to ensure that she does not develop an infection and hopefully she will start to grow big and strong very soon! Today, Grandpa Jim and Gramma Jane Trondsen are coming up for a visit and are sure to be happy to see Ella and be impressed at how alert she has been lately. Today, Ella weighs 760 grams or ~ 1 lb. 11 oz.
