Ella in the hospital...

We visited Ella in the hospital last night and she was as cranky as we expected her to be, if not more. She saw us and shrieked and cried and it was so freakishly human it was chilling. According to the Dr. the surgery was a success. It took four hours to fuse the bone in the right arm so they didn't get to remove the plates out of the left elbow, which is her good arm. The plan is to do that one when they do the procedure to fix her heart. They're discharging her at 6:00 this evening. In the meantime, we are counting down the hours, and rolling up our rugs, and laying out wee-wee pads, and getting a big old jar of peanut butter ready for her homecoming! More to come...
