Ella is being flown to Palo Alto tonight. Probably in a couple of hours. Unfortunately, neither of her parents are able to go with her because of the staff necessary that is taking up all of the room on the plane. Emily is on her way out there now and Chris is going to pack up their bags and meet her there first thing in the morning.
Ella is doing fantastic. She is maintaining a good heart rate and actually gained a little weight, she is 6 lbs 1 oz, which is saying a lot because she still isn't getting any milk. Don't worry, Emily is pumping and freezing the milk so Ella will have all the nutrients when they start her on a little bit more solid liquids.
I will keep you updated as much as possible, but there won't be much for the next couple of days. Ella will not have surgery until she is stabilized at the hospital there and they run their tests to be sure they know what they are in for before the surgery. We expect surgery to happen somewhere around Tuesday.
Keep up your prayers and remember to pray that Emily and Chris get good rest in there somewhere. They send their love to everyone. I will be in touch soon.
