Ella Brooke's Surgery

Thanks to all of our family and friends for the prayers and checking up in Miss Priss. Ella Brooke did great with her surgery. The surgery lasted about 2hours. The longest process was getting the fat from her belly and then it had to go thru a cleaning process. Matt and I were allowed to go to the recovery room and sit by her bed as she waited for a room. She didn't want to eat or talk there for a bit. Her throat was a little dry and sore. We finally got her to sip on some juice. She quickly realized that she didn't have her panties on. That upset her the most I think. She got very upset. " They are pink and have watermelons on them" is what she said. Too funny! We got in a room about 2:30 that afternoon and by 9:00pm she was eating and drinking. To be honest, she was bouncing off the wall!!! Coming off the drugs. Hee! Hee! Dr. Grant came by to see us early the next morning and he was pleased with her belly and mouth. We could tell and immediate difference in her sounds. She was less nasal and where she use to wrinkle her nose, she was no longer doing that. We actually have not seen that yet. I still hear nasal sounds, but it is definatly reduced. Dr. G said it could be where we may need to inject a little more fat later. We return to Childrens on August 5th to meet with the speech team and Dr. G.
