One year

Eliana had her surgery this morning. It went well. Right now we're in the pediatric surgery ward and she's fast asleep, as is her father on the cot near her crib. He'll be spending the night while I go home to be with Bracha, who has been with my mom all day (my dad, who drove us here at 6:30 this morning, has been here with us all day). I'll go home later.

The awesome news is she's not going to be here the 5-10 days they initially estimated. Instead, she's coming home tomorrow!! So we'll be at my parents' a few days but will be back at our own place next week.

Everyone here has been so nice. The whole staff is really kind, there are tons of volunteers offering everything from hot meals to ice cream, there's a library on wheels and all kinds of fun activities for kids. Our surgeon was the guy who has been following our case and seeing Eliana every other month since she was born...and also just happens to be the hospital's head of pediatric surgery, so we really felt we were in good hands.

That's about it. Thanks for your well-wishes and prayers, our baby is doing great!
