Each day, Ella continues to grow healthier and stronger. At her last eye exam, her doctor reported that her eyes continue to look fantastic post-laser eye surgery. He is impressed with the results and is optimistic about her future vision. Ella is spending her days without oxygen support and has weaned her oxygen needs down at nighttime. This month we are still using the apnea monitor due to her bradycardias. We turned in data today and will hear something by the middle of next week.
