Ella's surgery was scheduled to start at noon. So, we got started a little late. The doctor arrived at 1pm and the surgery started almost immediatly. She was in a GREAT mood the entire time during pre-op. She even went with the doctors and nurses without a problem. About an hour later, after Joe had gone back to work and my wonderful sister and dad brought me lunch, Ella came out of surgery beautifully. Talking to the doctor the surgery went really well. They did a little surgery to both eyes. He did less to the right eye than he thought he was going to have to do, which is a HUGE praise. Ella was in such a great mood and did so well with her fluids afterwards that we went home at 3pm. Yep, 2 hours from the time they took her back until we were driving out of the parking lot. Joe met us back at the house and we just stayed home and hung out the 3 of us.
Thank you to everyone who prayed. The whole day went very smoothly and there were no tears shed, by anyone. I'm so greatful that the Lord has been so faithful to us.
