You read correctly - Ella came home TODAY (Thursday)!!!! We are SOOO excited; however, it doesn't feel as though it's really sunk in yet! We were hoping to have her home by tomorrow but Ella's attending, Dr. Bommeraju, wanted to get her home before he went off service - which was today - and we didn't object!!As mentioned before, Ella has a slew of follow up appointments - the first being tomorrow with one of her pediatricians. But it will all be worth it!
I'm sure many of you in-towners are now thinking, "When can we visit???" If you all don't mind, Todd and I are going to take this weekend to enjoy our time with Ella without nurses, doctors, monitors, and other babies. Furthermore, because Ella's immune system is still not to its fullest we really need to try our hardest to keep her healthy with A LOT of hand washing and keeping ourselves healthy as well!!!
Unfortunately, our journey is not over quite yet. A full recovery could take up to a few years. Therefore, keep those prayers, get well wishes, and good vibes coming Ella's way!!!
Gotta go change another poopy diaper!!! Don't forget to keep checking back!!
We love you all!

That's the BEST photo I've taken so far....MOM AND DAD AT HOME WITH ELLA!!! You have been so strong and so supportive of one another--I'm so proud of both of you. Ella's one lucky gal with parents like you!
