Gabriella had her “pre-surgical” evaluation and weekly ENT clinic visit today. The doctors were pleased with Ella’s progress and cleared her for the next trip to the operating room on Tuesday, 05 April.
Pictured left is Ella doing some neck and torso strength training in her “Bumbo” seat. GG’s “Churchill cheeks” are due to the steroid prescription which she has taken for the past 3 weeks.
All for now.
Thank you for your prayers.

Gabriella made her weekly visit to the ENT clinic today.
Dr. Cable once again gave her high marks and the go-ahead for her next procedure. During that procedure, Gabriella will be sedated in the operating room. Dr. Cable will then use a tiny fiber optic scope to inspect the area of Ella’s airway which he repaired.
Ella will then recover for about 24 hours in the Pediatric ICU.
This procedure is scheduled for Tuesday, March 22nd.
Thank you for your prayers.

Ella’s health continues to improve following her surgery on 09 March. However, she is taking steroids once again as part of her treatment – so her face is getting fuller by the day.
We are scheduled to receive some additional hours of home nursing care. This should allow Dad to go back to work on a limited basis and Mum to get a few hours of some well deserved rest.
The home care nurses are very experienced and most personable – it is a joy to have them in our home. Pictured left is Ella and Nurse Pixley. All for now.
Thank you for your prayers.
