No feeding tube

The plan to insert a feeding tube down Ella’s nose was scrapped. Not because they didn’t want it but because they failed three times to insert it. For now I am happy about that. I didn’t like them trying but glad Ella doesn’t have another tube inserted. Hopefully she will be able to eat a bit tomorrow. Today she was moved from the intensive care unit to the normal ward. The level of care changed accordingly. The care in the ICU was amazing. In the ward, less so. Not such a great day for Ella (or us). The tremors in the right side of her body, mostly the right arm and hand persist. She seems uncomfortable and also had a fever now and again. We are told these are normal stages of recovery. But it is difficult seeing her this way. I hope tomorrow she starts feeling a bit better.
