Once again, I'm touched to the point of tears by the *many* Listers who have been praying and sending out good thoughts for our little Ella. Ella is home now. I wish I could say all is well, but it isn't. Ella survived the horrific hemorrhaging that occurred during and after the surgery to remove a tumor behind her eye, but she did not survive unscathed.... As a consequence of the hemorrhage, the swelling to Ella's face is indescribable. Far worse, is the fact that Ella is now completely blind and is not expected to recover sight in her remaining eye. We absolutely must keep her from bumping her head and this is proving to be very difficult. We don't know what the future holds for Ella. We'll know more when the pathology report comes back tomorrow. Ella is a very tough little girl and has been a perfect angel throughout this ordeal. We just pray that when the time comes to make some tough decisions, we'll have the wisdom and fortitude to do what is *right* by Ella. Thanks again to all who have been praying for and thinking of our baby girl.
