Ella had another awesome day! She is doing great breathing on her own. We got to hold her twice today. She definitely has a little temper. Her face turns bright red and her pulse gets really high. She calms down pretty quick, though. She might start getting feedings through a nasogastric tube tomorrow. They will feed her milk through this. They also took her off of her blood pressure medicine today along with decreasing her oxygen. She is doing awesome with both!

Lots of love,
Traci
