Ellie went in for surgery at around 8am. She was in high spirits, telling everyone she was "jilled". Most upsetting was having to stop peeling her crayons to go into surgery. Thom & I were discussing how even this major brain surgery was hardly even a bump in the road for her. The things that used to be the most challenging--not being able to eat or drink prior to surgery are no longer an issue (there's a bonus for no appetite/thirst!)
Was just informed that surgery actually just officially began (9:45 am). As you can imagine (although don't if it makes you feel funny), it takes a while to prep for surgery.
Wow. That is so great that she was jilled! What an amazing person Ellie is!
