Ellary's Supracondryal Surgery (elbow)

Turns out Ellary had to have surgery on her broken elbow after all. We took her to St Mary's Hospital in Madison early this morning, 6 a.m. Then she went in for surgery around 8 a.m. The surgeon repaired the supracondryal fracture. Basically her humorous broke near her elbow and bent backwards separating her humorous from her forearm. She needed 3 pins to put the pieces back together. She'll be in a splint for one week and then a cast for about 6 weeks. Poor girlie. We are just glad the surgery went well and that Ellary is on the mend. Still,  it's difficult to see her in so much pain and not being able to understand what's happening like we do. She is a tough girl, and we love her so very much.

Pictures are of Ellary before surgery, just after surgery, and Kris carrying Ellary out of the hospital.

I'm so glad the surgery went well! She is just too itty-bitty to be that hurt! What a brave, little sweetheart. Praying for a fast and painless recovery!
