On the Mend
Written by: Bonnie on Tuesday, May 6th, 2008 at 11:39 AM
Ella is doing much better today! In fact I’ve been having trouble getting pictures as she’s moving around much more - makes everything come out blurry!
She was still a little puffy when she first got up, but she could actually open both eyes! And she’s looking better and better as the day goes on - yeah!
We’ve determined (we think) that she got a mild infection from the hole that was created on the side of her head from her glasses rubbing the tube that runs between her port and the actual expander. Something that could have been avoided if the tube had been placed elsewhere, but at least the infection is manageable and better than a problem that would require extra surgery!
Thank you to everyone for the love and prayers that you sent our way - it helped us to get through it all!
Hopefully Ella will now continue to mend!

What a Great God we have. I am so happy that she is doing better. Praying that Mom and Dad continue to do better and better with the process.

What specific type of glasses? They looked cute. Thanks.

Ella normally wears glasses as she is far sighted and has a tendency to cross her eyes. She just hasn’t been wearing them since the infection began.
