As many of us have learned the hard way about how to find a healthy pup and what to look for... you sure have. I am so very sorry this has been so hard on you.
I do question why this breeder would breed the parents again, if Marcie's illness was genetics. Also the size.. it makes me nervious that someone would breed small females.
But....what is your legal choices? There is a good chance Ella would be ok (I have the brother of a female that dies of a kidney defect.. a different breed) and he is very healthy (three year latter) but maybe I just got very lucky!!! And how would you feel with Ella?
If you only have the choice of a pup as replacement you either take one or not. You may or may not win that fight.
So what would I do? If I could I would fight for my money and vet bills back.. if not I would ask to see any documentation on the second litter and maybe take of of the pups from that litter.
Good luck
