Ella has been having some episodes today that are not fun. Her oxygen levels have been dropping into the 50's and 60's. Normal for her is in the 80's anything below 75 is concerning. We have been monitoring her all day and have been in contact with one of her cardiologists and we will continue to watch her tomorrow. Right now it doesn't appear to be any type of emergency, so that is good. This could just be signs of needing her next surgery (even with these signs it could still be a ways away) it could also be something really simple like she might be teething or getting sick. "Simple" things like that make a BIG impact on our baby. We ask that you keep her in your prayers. We know that God is in control and we try to rest in that. Ella has been really out of breath just walking in the house today and when she plays at all she will turn kind of blue and purple and her sats (oxygen) drop significantly. The good news is that after sitting for a minute or two her numbers come back up fairly quickly and her color returns to normal. Also the good news is that despite the shortness of breath and lack of oxygen she acts normal and doesn't seem to be bothered by it at all. I almost didn't post this since right now I don't know much and I don't want to cause worry to anybody, but knowing that you all are here and will pray for her, I just had to share. So please pray for her as we watch her and wait for her heart to show us what it needs. Thank you.
also please keep a little baby girl named cali in your prayers as she is in emergency open heart surgery right now and things look grim.
Praying for both! Stay strong and just remember that God is the ultimate healer and everything is in His timing.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely praying for both little girls. My God is able! It has to be so hard for a two year old like Miss Ella to not be able to play right now :( I have my own exuberant 2 year old, and she hates to be slowed down for any reason! I can only imagine her frustration, and of course your concern for her! Praying for nice stable sats and good news for both little girls
ReplyDeletePraying for sweet Ella and Cali!
ReplyDeletePraying for both Ella and Cali. I hope both recover and are good as new soon.
ReplyDeleteElla will soon be old enough to tell you how she feels. That will be a blessing. Please keep us all informed on how she is doing. Also, please update us on Cali. Praying is something we can all do. We are praying, praying, praying!!
