We had an exciting day!!

I got to hold Ella for the first time since she left Baylor...it was wonderful!!!

Grady LOVES his baby sister!!!
Ella continues to do well in ICU. Her condition is stable and she is being very cooperative and patient while the doctors decide what's best for her. The cardiologists came in to do another echocardiogram this evening. They were using a 3D machine and it was quite impressive to watch. Dr. Forbess (surgeon) stopped by shortly after and let me know that they are going to study the results and see if there is any change or any information that would help them to lean one way or the other. He also stated that he is leaning towards the Norwood procedure, but he wanted more time to think about it and to discuss it with his colleagues. The team of surgeons and cardiologists will meet this Monday, and her first surgery will probably be on Tuesday.
Please continue to pray that her condition remains stable, and pray for the team of doctors as they make a very difficult decision that will determine Ella's fate.
We love you all!
