Ellliana is doing really well. She still gets a little sleepy when she eats, but is getting more consistent in taking the amount she should. She no longer has her feeding tube, and looks so cute without tape across her cheek, and a tube down her nose. She is still on oxygen, but her settings are really low. The nurses have told me that if we lived at sea level she would probably be breathing on her own. We will find out today what the doctor recommends, but there is a chance that we will bring Elli home within the next couple of days. It is a little scary for me to think of caring for her without all the wonderful NICU nurses helping me. I am really going to miss them!! We are excited to bring her home though. It has been a very long 4 and 1/2 months, but they have been amazing months filled with so many answers to prayers. We have all witnessed a miracle.
I will post some new photos as soon as things settle down. You'll all be amazed at how much she has grown.
