Ellie's Appointment

Tomorrow afternoon is the big appointment with the pediatric vascular surgeon. We'll find out what he recommends about her venous malformations. I'm expecting that they will recommend surgery, since the first one has grown so much and gotten harder, and on Sunday she woke with a new one higher on her arm.

We spent most of the day Sunday in the Emergency Department after discovering she'd developed a second malformation overnight. The staff was great, and we actually had a private room in the ER with a door into a children's waiting room. That waiting room was locked, and you could only be admitted with staff approval. So it was nice to know she wouldn't catch H1N1 or something when she hung out there.

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers!
