If you want to beat a respiratory infection (such as pneumonia) and/or avoid contracting pneumonia, it is imperative to get up and out of bed each & everyday; preferably several times each day.
Yesterday afternoon, after requesting a portable oxygen bottle and receiving Nurse Stephanie’s blessing, Ella stood up and went for a brief walk around the PICU.
While she was up and about, Ella posed for a few photos with the PICU nurses.
This morning Ella went for a much longer walk, all the way to the Red Bull vending machine in the center of the hospital.
Afterwards, she wrote a few cards and before drifting off to sleep.
