Ellis is one week old!

Ellis has accomplished quite a lot in this first week! She continues to recover very well, and her doctors say they are happy with her progress. We are so grateful that she came through her surgery as well as she did. There are still some areas of concern that need to be watched closely, and she does have a long way to go. So we appreciate your continued prayers. But she is definitely on her way to "normal baby stuff," as her surgeon put it. She is still heavily sedated, for rest and to keep her from pulling at her lines. But we look forward to the next week in which most of those should be removed and she will get to be more alert. It won't be long until we are able to hold her for the first time and feed her.
We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and love from all our friends and family. Thank you so much for everything you have done for us.
