Well you all know weve had ups and downs with Ella since birth and she recently had a bad bout of bronchiolitis which resulted in a 3wk hospital stay well we got sent for a.special scan last week to see if her oesophagus and trachea had reconnected and unfortunately it has. To say were devastated is an understatement. Basically she needs the major op again that she had when she was 3days old and its open surgery. Shes going in hospital on wed to have a broncoscopy and endoscopy to find the location and size of the join and theyre also going to insert a gastrostomy as shes now been 4wks nil by mouth and the surgeons re worried she wont remember how to swallow as her swallowing technique was never particularly good. So we will be in hospital over christmas and then Ella will have the major op sometime in the next few weeks. Im so scared shes had general anaesthetic 6times already in her little life and now we have to subject her to another 2 lots. What if something happens
