Today was exhausting. Surgery lasted 9 hours in addition to pre and post-op steps. It was very tiring for Ellis and all of us in the waiting room. She came through like a champ and is resting easy this evening. Now that the mass has been removed, the surgeons believe it was a lymphatic malformation as opposed to the teratoma we were hoping for. Removing the lymphangioma was harder and there will be some extra steps to go through to get everything the way it should be. The surgeons feel like it was a successful procedure. We'll have to wait and see how she heals and her body recovers to determine the next step.
For now, we are grateful for all of our blessings and the success of the day. Thank you all for the well wishes and prayer. We know it makes a difference.
