She's Home!!!!!!!!!

Ellie is home!!!  HHHHOOOOORRRRRAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  After 9ish weeks/ two months in the NICU- she is where she belongs!  See Ab's email below...

Tuesday Update-
what a glorious day! as i type this, ellie is laying on our living room floor taking a nap and matt and i are here rather than at the hospital. it is awesome! we have had a good day. we left the hospital around 3:45 after a going away party and some tears from me. yes, i cried leaving the hospital but not too much. :) the kids were waiting for us when we got home and we had to take turns holding her and kissing her. ellie must like being home as she has slept well both in her bassinet and now on the floor. ellie is getting a little oxygen during her feedings so we will get adept at monkeying with that at 3 in the morning. she was fussy for her bottle but as soon as she ate, she wanted to be put down and not touched anymore. she may spend the night out here in the living room, but if it gets matt and i some sleep, we will let her.

we will keep you updated on ellie, just because she is home doesn't mean the emails will stop! probably not as often though. :) again, thanks for your prayers and we ask that you continue to lift her up. complete healing of her brain to stop the seizures is what matt and i will pray for. we also would love prayers for a great transition home for her and the other kids. attached are a couple of pitures from the day. one is of matt, i and ellie but it isn't a great picture of ellie so the other is a great picture of ellie with one of her incredible nurses.
love-
matt and abbie
