No end time yet

I am officially the last person here now it seems anyway.  When I walk down the halls it is pretty quiet.  A nurse came about an hour ago to say that everything is going well but there is not an estimated end time.  We may head straight to the PICU (pediatric intensive care unit) afterwards rather than going through recovery here. 

Can I just use this as an opportunity to THANK Brittany for hauling herself here at early o'clock to be with Ellie before surgery.   A great big thanks to Jennifer for bringing us lunch and helping us think of funny boy's names.  And another great big thanks to Karly for the entertainment, conversation & yummy treats from Lazy Jane's.   To my mom for her international phone call, my sister for her marvelous text, and to all of you who have sent e-mails throughout the day with your best wishes & prayers & even fairy dust!  (Oh and of course the homemade jokes too!)  You made this somewhat challenging day that much easier for all of us.
