Ella's right lung still has a little "squeak" to it, but it's much better from when she came in Wednesday night.
We met with Dr. Prestridge (Ella's pulmonolgist) this morning and it looks like Ella will be able to go home on Monday. Her new equipment will be delivered to our house that day, and as long as the home care specialists can come to set it all up for Ella on Monday we can go home then.
Tomorrow (Sunday) is the "Ella's Day" fundraiser in Elmhurst. As long as Ella continues to be doing well, our plan is for Michael and me to come to the event while my sister and brother-in-law stay with Ella in the hospital. Dr. Prestridge said this is completely fine and that the hospital has our cell phone numbers, should they need to contact us.
Just as a note, we have been writing these blog posts from our phones and we are unable to post pictures using the mobile version. Once we get home we plan to post the photos/videos from her stay (however, we have been posting some on Facebook already).
Thank you all again for your continued thoughts, prayers and encouragement. We can truly FEEL it and it helps tremendously.
