So Ellie is coming along well. Another swallow study was done last Thursday, maybe I mentioned it already, and it's getting better. Not as much is going down her wind pipe as before and she coughs what little does back out. So we are still going slow on feeding her by mouth. Another study will be done this Thursday to see progress then we will need to decide about a G-tube if it's not good enough for her to eat by mouth, or if we can start her on solids and pull the tube from her nose. We are definately hoping for that option so we can go home without a tube.
The therapists and doctors had a meeting about Ellie and they thought maybe eight more days. So we are shooting for Tuesday or Wednesday of next week as a goal to go home. She will still have outpatient physical and occupational therapy and speech therapy to go to everyday. We aren't sure if she'll be going back to daycare at SonRise or if we'll need to have someone one on one with her at our house or somewhere. If she goes to daycare she'll need someone one on one with her to help keep her head safe and help her with whatever else she needs.
Nothing much else to report other than Ellie's still havin' a good time in therapy, they make it fun for her, and fun with visitors.
