Ely had a good night last night. The breathing treatments appear to be helping and her appetite is returning. Her pediatrician examined her last night and said her lungs still sounded congested, but upon examination this morning, she was sounding much better. We were encouraged by the good news.
The doctors want to watch her through the morning and reexamine her again after lunch. Provided she is doing as well or better at her mid-day exam, there is a chance they will release her to go home today. We are not getting to excited about her release just yet, but we are cautiously optimistic. We want to be certain she is better before she comes home so we don't have to bring her back.
Amy has spent the last two nights at the hospital watching over Ely, so she is very tired. We are hopeful Ely can come home so Amy can rest a little easier.
When Ely comes home, she will be required to continue breathing treatments every 4 hours for a while until she has fully recovered. It won't be an easy recovery, but at least we will all be together again.
Pray for her continued healing today in hopes that we can bring her home.
Thank you all for your love, prayers and support.
Love,
Brad, Amy, Matthew & Ely
