You have all seen it here as you watch Ivey. The ordinary miracles that happen every day are so far from ordinary ~ they are extraordinary. A sweet treat is just one tiny way in which you can make a difference in these ordinary yet miraculous lives.

After cleft lip surgery and tracheostomy

Just another ordinary miracle .... Today

Remember Scottish Rite is a part of the Children's Miracle Network.

Awwww...Ivey is just adorable!! I am not sure how I came across your blog, (I have spent the last hour reading it, and have forgotten) but I just wanted to let you know that you are very blessed to have her in your life. Which I am sure you already know this. :)

My name is Pam and I have a son Rhett, who is 22 months old. He has Down Syndrome. Isn't it amazing how much these special children just complete our lives?

We plan on going to DQ this Thursday as well, after all it was a CMN hospital that did Rhett's heart surgery.

Hugs to you and your family!

I read about the Miracle Treat Day on Leslie's blog (Super Duper Jack) and wish we had a DQ by us! Our town used to have 2, and they both shut down - or else we would be there!

Thank you so much for the comment you left the other day - I really appreciate it! I don't think I've heard of the deletion of the 21st chromosome - it's interesting how many different genetic "disorders" there are out there. Ivey is a beautiful little girl who is obviously much loved by her brothers and parents!

And Sometimes Feeding Your Kiddo Looks Like This...

A simple sentence. No one said it to me in the beginning, but boy did that tube cause a lot of chaos. The NG tube graduated to the G-tube which morphed to a GJ- tube…. A brief history of Ivey's feeding tubes: *The NG tube was in place the first time I ever saw my daughter in the NICU.  My only memory of her without a feeding tube is them placing her in my arms immediately following her birth. *The G-tube, well, that is a story within itself.  That decision did not come lightly.  Another hole in her.  Another decision on our plate, but not really on our plate, it was apparent it was a medical necessity for her survival.  Literally to give her a chance to live.  A permanent decision.  A 5am panic attack in the Scottish Rite elevator that happened to coincide with Dr. Meyers arriving at the hospital at the same time as me.... Our intersection in the elevator set the stage for the years to follow. From that point on, he knew I was a little nuts and a lot...

Sibling Secret Sauce

Siblings of kiddos with disabilities are amazing humans walking amongst us. They live a life, most often, in the shadows of their sibling who simply needs "more". More time. More direct attention. More of more. We have now come to a fork in our road. Our boys are young men, and, our daughter is a young lady. I'll be honest, I was uncertain what life would look like once the boys left this home, once they had their own time, in their own personal sunshine. We found out quickly once Knox left for college his freshman year what that would look like. And then, when Walker left, we knew what life would feel like in their absence. There was too much space. Ivey felt it. We get many compliments about the relationship the boys and Ivey have with one another. Hints here and there that, maybe, Matt and I had some secret recipe to parenting a household with a child that is very medically complex and a very complex communicator. This is what I can tell you - there is no re...
