Gabriella had a difficult time last night. It appears that despite our best efforts to protect her – she may have contracted a cold virus.

While such illnesses are merely an inconvenience to most folks, the fever and additional secretions pose real problems for Ella because of her trach tube.

Details to follow.

Pictured left is a photo from last week of Ella with her “Gran”.

Thank you for your prayers.
