In the room

Ella is now in her hospital room and she is doing great! The staff person who brought her up from the recovery room was very complimentary in how well Ella did in the recovery room. When they brought her up, Ella was quite calm and was pretty much just laying there and looking around -- almost acting as if what just happened wasn't really a huge deal. We're continually amazed at how well she handles things -- she's just an exceptional little girl!

She has four incisions, two drains, and three ports. Her head is not wrapped at all so we can see everything. Yet we are thankful that she doesn't look near as fragile as we expected her to look.

Right now she is resting comfortably. She is quite sleepy and that's what she's doing right now. The nurse has started her on some pain medication already in order to try to stay ahead of the pain instead of getting behind.

All in all, we feel very good about how everything went today.

"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever." Psalm 107:1
