This Sunday there was an open house at the Shriner’s Hospital that we will be frequenting regularly with David when he gets home. It is an amazing facility and the people we met seemed very compassionate for the kids they help. Every part of the hospital is ‘kid friendly’ with jungle and ocean themed x-ray rooms and little Jeeps so the kids can drive themselves to surgery. They make the prosthetics on-site and are able to test multiple options for each patient in the motion detection lab which uses the same motion tracking technology Hollywood and video game designers use for animation. We left the open house thankful that such a high-quality facility is just 40 minutes from our house! Isn't God good!
Ellie enjoyed visiting the hospital, but she did want to make it clear to us, "For my brother, not for me!"
Ellie named the bear on the operating table, David.
A 'real' broken bone! Ellie was fascinated.
They can decorate prosthetics with anything.
(I think something OSU Buckeyes themed might look good.)

Ellie enjoyed the 'Nemo' room which got even cooler to her when she saw some sample x-rays taken in the room.
Ellie thought the statue of Mike from Monster's Inc. was interesting. She begged us to leave the long way just so we could walk by it again and take this picture.

I'm so excited for you all! Still praying for the rest of the process and that everything else runs smoothly as well! Ellie will be an awesome big sister to David!
We loved seeing the great Shriner's faciity on your blog. Ellie will be great with little David. You have done such a good job of preparing her. We are continually praying for each step of the adoption process.
