Our Little Spring Flower

Ellis's checkups last week went fairly well. We do have to start patching her good eye for six hours a day to make the other one catch up, but we are encouraged that we will probably only have to do that for a few months. So far Ellis is tolerating the patch pretty well, and we just pray that her eyes continue to heal. The really good news is that in a few weeks Ellis will have an MRI, followed soon after by another scope to check out her trach. If all goes well, her ENT would like to downsize the trach, which will allow her to breathe a little more through her nose and mouth and will also let her use her voice! This is the first step in getting the trach out entirely, so we are very excited. It may take many months before she can be decannulated, but she is headed in the right direction. We consider this an answered prayer, one of many.

Ellis and pretty Miss B
