Ella is still in a coma, but she seems to be moving forward with recovery.
I went down to Oakland last night after work – After not seeing Ella since tuesday, I noticed her facial swelling has decreased. After 3 days, I really did see a positive difference.
This mornings rounds with Dr Pang – he saw her clenching her fist, which he said was a really great sign, much more than just random arm movement.
They are “splinting her feet at 90 degree angle”– and Glen & Aly have been instructed to do streches on Ella a few times daily over the weekend.
She adjusted her shoulder a few times, and opened her eyes about a quarter of the way a few times…
I am HOPEFUL. I see progress, and I feel that these are all signs of recovery – Yes, this is a very slow slow path of recovery, but the kiddo had 3 major surgeries last week and needs times to heal.
Oh my gosh. I can’t imagine the strength and positivity you all must be fighting for now.
I’ve never met Ella, but knowing a Glen a little, and looking at her singing her song, her sense of self in her pictures, SHE IS STRONG.
ALL of my love goes to Ella and the family that is there cheering her on.
Tears well my eyes…I feel love for a child I’ve never met.
Sent with loving strength,
Angela
I don’t know you and your family and I don’t know Ella. I was drawn to this page by a tweet that someone had left.
I also wouldn’t dream of saying that I know what you’re going through because I don’t. All I can do is imagine if this had happened to a realative of mine. And that thought scared me.
I can only hope that there is a continued recovery for Ella. She is such a vibrant girl and from the sounds of it she is a fighter.
I live in Aberdeen in Scotland and I am thinking about you and Ella. I am sending you positive vibes of love and hope and the profoundest wish that she will continue on her long journey of recovery.
With thoughts and Prayers.

I followed a post left by Rima Roberts on FB, and am deeply moved to read about Ella. As a mother to my little girl who is almost one, I completely empathize and can imagine the swirl of emotions that you and your family are navigating. I will pray for Ella and keep her in my thoughts. Maybe it is trite to say this, but I have a feeling she will pull through…that you all will. Thank you as well, for sharing the pictures and video of her…such a lovely, spirited girl full of grace. Much love.
i saw your post on Eros Alegra’s wall. I am so sorry to hear about this. Prayers and good thoughts to you.

Deb,
From as far away from Chile, my thoughts are with you and your family. I learned through Ella through a post you left on the Peter Frampton Facebook wall. Couldn´t help but read your story and be completely overwhelmed. You have a beautiful, strong, family..keep on hoping for the best for Ella. I’m sending you loads of good energy, across the oceans, Deb, to you and Ella. Love, peace and much light to illuminate your precious daughter while she recovers.
