The CAT scan results and blood chemistry were good enough for the ICU doctors to try and remove Ella’s tube and see how she is breathing on her own. The first trial didn’t go as well as they expected and they put the tube back after about 30 minutes.
The reason is probably the sedation and the massive swelling. I guess the next time they try this will be tomorrow. Ella is in stable condition and ‘looking good’ according to all doctors.
I wonder if they can do anything about our breathing.
