Estella Off the Respirator

Great news! Estella is breathing on her own, they pulled the respirator tube today. She is still hooked up to myriad machines that are monitoring her and she still needs to take food and eventually feed from Robyn - but so far she has rapidly recovered!
THANKS to everyone for your thoughts and prayers! She needed extra help and we were blessed by the professional level of the staff at both NW and Children's Hospital.
You can now see her a bit better without the tube in her mouth:

Robyn got to hold her today for the first time. Estella is mostly asleep still so we can't wait to look into her eyes and introduce ourselves.
