Ellis had another visit to Cincinnati Children's today so her excellent team of doctors and nurses could evaluate the swelling she has had at her surgery site. The litle swollen spot has officially turned into a big ugly lump that is looking bruised, but it still doesn't seem to be causing Ellis any pain. Her doctors feel like it is most likely some lymphatic tissue that has developed micro-cysts, a pretty common occurrance with lymphatic malformations. She is not being threatened by it, but we all are in agreement right now that it is best to have it removed. Since Ellis is scheduled for surgery next week anyway, this will be added on. We will stay in the hospital just a little longer, but we feel like putting her through only one round of anesthesia and one recovery is best. Please be in prayer that everything goes smoothly. She is a little trooper and didn't even fuss today with all the poking and prodding.
We are still enjoying the company of Uncle Grant, Grandpa George & Trish. Ellis is having a great time and loves the extra attention. She is going to be bored next week when it is just me all day again!
