Complications. Just as we were thinking Ella is on her way to getting better. Through a bacteria culture taken from her saliva they think she has a slight case of Pneumonia. This isn’t good. It was also known that there was a risk of getting pneumonia as a result of being on the respirator for such a long time, It could also be a result of her trying to swallow milk and it going down to her lungs. Now the plan is to replace the IV in her leg because it is in risk of contamination and insert a different one, and also insert a feeding tube to her stomach through the nose (NJ Tube). For this she needs to be taken to the anesthesiologists, sedated and intubated. Poor little Ella. Again being poked and pierced and sedated and prodded. It makes me cringe. It just isn’t fair. I hope this will be a short detour and then back to the road to recovery.
