Elli made it through her surgery which lasted about 2 hours. The defect was very large as we knew it would be. They used a Alloderm patch to do the repair, and because of the amount of liver that had been in the chest, the surgeons had to create a silo to put Elli's stomach, intestines, and part of her spleen in. She looks pretty stable for now, will post more indepth later..going to see Elli now.

Annie called me on her way home from the hospital and gave me the report on Elli's surgery. What a sweet, strong little girl she is! I'll be praying for the swelling in the liver to go down to make room for it's "neighbors." Get some rest, Cassi & Brian, so you can stay strong like Elli! Carol Mathes
