Well Elli is in surgery...finally. We got pushed back because there was an emergency appendectomy. So as of about 3:30 Elli should be nicely sedated and the surgery starting. The surgeon said that he is going to put in an Alloderm patch (made of donor skin) and hopefully there should be minimal complications. Dr. K said that he is going to be there when Elli has her surgery since she is on the HFOV and because he wants to watch her oxygenation very closely. The surgery should likely take about an hour, and then a half hour or so to get Elli stabilized and cleaned up. Praying all goes well and Elli will be one step closer in her recovery. Will post an update when we find out how it went.
Getting back to normal!

Well, I couldn't stand it any longer and had to stop working long enough to open up Elli's website and check on her. Glad I did because now I'll take a few more minutes and pray for her. Go little Elli, go!!!

Brian & Cassi,
We're continuing to pray that all goes well during (and after) Elli's surgery. She's been such a fighter! We're waiting anxiously to hear how things went.
Love you all.
