Here is the plan for today. This morning Ella will be taken to have another CAT scan (lucky we insisted on this). Doing it this way will not require her to be sedated again just for the CAT scan. The purpose of this is to see if there is any internal bleeding and whether hydrocephalus (pressure of the fluid in the brain) is developing. When she is back her sedative will be stopped and she will be allowed to wake up. Her breathing tube removed. If all goes well and she breaths on her own and feeds on her own, the rest of the tubes will be disconnected! We are very excited.
We are dying to meet the new Ella. Wondering what she will think of us.
