While at home, Gabriella normally wears two different types of monitors. The monitors alert Mum and Dad if Ella’s heart rate, respiration rate, or oxygen saturation level stray outside of fairly narrow windows.

Additionally, she is required to breathe warm humidified air in order to keep her airway and lungs moist. Ella endures the discomfort of wearing her equipment with the patience of Job. So as you can imagine, bath-time is a very special treat for both Ella and Mum.

Thank you for your prayers.
