Ellis had a fantastic day. The scoping of her airway revealed that the tumor had not grown inside of her trachea and that's just swell. The doctors were pleased with the way things looked and removed the breathing tube. Ellis is doing very well without it. We've spent much of the afternoon and evening with her. She's been much more relaxed and sociable without it. Her agitation and awareness of the tube has been growing over the last couple of days and she has tried to remove it for the doctors a couple of times. There are some issues with one of her vocal cords that we'll keep an eye on as she grows. The doctors may have to help out a little when she is older, we'll see.
Since the procedure, Ellis has enjoyed sleeping on her stomach a little and has made new friends with a stuffed duck. We were able to rub her back, which put her right to sleep. We were both also finally able to hold her and it was fantastic.
We are so very blessed
