Discharge Day!! (by Lindsay)

Ella is coming home today!!!

When I arrived at the hospital this morning, Ella was in GREAT spirits...talking, smiling, laughing, singing - our typical Squishy!

Yesterday afternoon Ella fell asleep around 2 pm and didn't wake up again until 8 am this morning! 18 HOURS!! I guess she needed it :)

Ella is tolerating her regular formula at the normal rate, she has minimal pain and she is VERY excited to go home!

Ava, Henry and Ella are SO excited to see each other...they have missed each other so much! I can't wait to see the reunion :)

Michael is feeling well rested and has done such a great job of being here and caring for Ella 24/7! He's going to be home with her this next week while I return to work and then the following week is Spring Break for all of us. We're hoping Ella can start returning to school after that!

We cannot even begin to thank all of you enough for your thoughts, kind words and prayers!!! We will continue to update the blog with Ella's progress.

Thumbs up and ready to go home!!
