After the CAT scan, Ella was taken off the respirator and the breathing tube removed! She instantly transfered from sedative induced sleep to natural sleep. She is doing that still. Everything else is stable and we are very pleased for that calm transition. We are told it is normal for her to be totally out of it for a while. Half of her brain was removed, what do you expect? She is looking much better too, the swelling is down and now the tubes are gone from her mouth and nose. We are getting there.
