January 20, 2006

EK has been admitted once again to Baptist PICU. They have put her back on the ventilator, but are allowing her to do most of the work breathing. Since she was having labored breathing this morning they wanted to be able to monitor it and stabilize it, thus back on the vent. She isn't being drugged, or in a semi-coma like she was before. She does have a central line once again and is now being fed through a GI tube. But, they are letting her have breast milk. We aren't sure if this is a virus or a product of her NKH (metabolic disorder). They are doing some tests (of course!), and we will hopefully know more soon. Problem is, she is once again being admitted on a weekend, and not much goes on in hospitals during the weekends!

God is still faithful. We continue to believe He is doing great things in and through baby Ellie - we just can't see the big picture at this time, but our trust is in Him. Please just pray that we can figure all of this out. We long for normalcy!

We love you all and will give another update when possible.

Ryan and Mike
