Today has been a good day. Ella had her breathing tube taken out, and has done well all day. She only gets upset when the morphine wears off. We had an uneventful afternoon which is good. Kevin headed back to see her tonight. She is supposed to be getting actual milk (about 1 teaspoon) tonight around 8 pm. Hopefully she will do well and be able to receive more. I think this will help calm her down a little, too. It should also help with her jaundice. Every day she gets a little more yellow, but not enough to treat. Once she starts digesting food it should help flush her system. She loves to be held tight, but for now all we can do is place our hands over her body and arms. She also loves to have things next to her head, just like her brother.

Everyone keeps telling me how much she looks like Jameson. Today she opened her eyes for long enough to snap a picture. What do you think?
