8 Days Old and Surgery #2



Today baby Ella is 8 days old...and has probably undergone more medical proceedures than I have in an entire lifetime. We are now up in Rochester, NY at Strong Memorial Hospital so that Ella can receive the special care and attention she needs. We arrived on Wednesday night, June 17 and has remained fairly stable. The doctors here did decide to go in and close the ductus (and a rather larger one we are are told) in her heart so blood can start flowing properly through her little body which will hopefully lead to a quicker recovery. The next few days we will try to get Ella some rest and hopefully recover well from her surgery. At some point down the road we will work on fixing her little belly, but in the meantime...now it is time to grow.
