Elli stretching out before her surgery, that girl's got some long legs!
All cozy on the surgery table after they but a BearHugger under her and warm blankets on top. After they moved her she was pretty cranky, but once those warm blankets hit her she was right back to sleep and looked so comfy cozy. 
Elli in her "New Room" ~ the surgery suite. She will be staying in this room for a couple of days so the nurses won't have to move her to increase the risk of bleeding.
All ready for surgery....just waiting on the surgeons.
We stopped by to see if Elli had started her surgery, and at about 4:00 the anesthesiologist and surgeon walked in...we gave Elli our final kisses, told her how much we loved her, and said one last prayer. So as of now, 4:32 she should be well on her way to a repair. Brian and I are waiting in one of the Parent rooms that they use before babies get discharged. The parents stay the night with the kiddo and do all the cares to ensure the parents know what to expect when they are at home with their baby. It has a bed and a TV so Brian is resting on the bed and watching TV, just waiting for the surgeons to come in and let us know how our little lady did.

We are praying for Elli, the surgeons, and you, Brian and Cassi.
Love,

I'm thinking of you guys and sending all of the +++ vibes I've got to little Elli as she endures her surgery this afternoon. The video from this morning of mom stroking her head was so precious. *I* could feel the love for that little girl, so no doubt she could feel it, too.
Best,

I am praying for all of you today and in the road ahead. It can sometimes be a roller coaster ride of ups and downs, but always remember what your knees are for and trust that God will help you through. Praying for the strength in all three of you.
