Ella is fully recovered from surgery, and we just wanted to share how excited we are about that -- we are back in the SCCA department now, and she recovered amazingly well. Almost twice as fast as was expected of her. One indicator of her speedy recovery was that she was hungry right away, and the other was that she had almost no pain, aside from some wincing when she tried to sit up the first few days. She has been walking on her own for 4 or 5 days (the initial walking was at her own request, even). We don't want to hang our hats on it, but we see this as a good sign that her body is overall healthy enough to recover from extremely intensive surgery that fast.
Coleen wanted me to say:
We know that many of you have told us that you feel very helpless (as we do) and would like to figure out a way to do something for our family. Coleen came up with the idea of all different kinds of cool hats, since it's very cold still in Seattle, and we will most likely all be hairless as a family soon, hats or other head coverings would be very appreciated. The crazier and more colorful the better. Matching sets, stuff just for Ella, whatever works :)
Another quick side note:
Thanks everyone for the notes, comments, calls, e-mails, etc, sorry we haven't responded all that well, but I'm sure you understand.
