Welcome Home Ivey!

Gwen and Matt spent the weekend by rooming in at Floyd Hospital to learn to care for little Ivey. The boys spent the weekend with friends and family anxiously awaiting the arrival of their little sister. Ivey will have a night nurse to care for her from 11 pm to 7 am. She is up to 6lbs now. Ivey is suppose to come home this afternoon once Gwen and Matt complete the CPR class and the discharge is completed.

Today will be a challenging day on many levels. While it is wonderful that Ivey is coming home, anyone who has had a little one in the NICU knows that it is hard to leave the security of the hospital. Gwen and Matt have become very close to their "hospital family". The staff at the hospital has been so good to the Sirmans and saying goodbye to them will be difficult. The nighttime nurse will start tonight so a new relationship will begin. Additionally, Ivey will start her series of appointments at Scottish Rite this Thursday.

Special thanks to everyone who has brought meals to the family and to the folks who set up Ivey's room this weekend. It has been awesome to watch the amount of support and love this community feels toward this family! They continue to need your love and support. Please pray that Ivey's homecoming is an easy transition for everyone and that loving relationships will be fostered in Ivey's new medical family. Let God continue to surround this family with people who care for them.

The meals are going great and there is a schedule for meals to be delivered on MWF through the end of July. Some people are still interested in helping with meals and we have encouraged people to give gift certificates for restaurants with curbside menus or for Two Can Do. mirandastyles@comcast.net.

Thank you so much for your continued support!
