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...

Love to lurk here and not sure if I've ever commented. She is beautiful and such a testimony of God's genius.
Look at that personality shine through! There's no stopping her. Keep it up, Ivey. Keep on showing the world that your life is a success story and especially a testimony to the value of life as God's great gift, in whatever wonderfully unique packages He wraps it.

Brightest Blessings to ALL..
I check my computer each day for news of Ivey as I have from day one of your blog. I am so happy to see her doing so well.
I am fortunate to get updates often from Stacy but enjoy seeing things first hand by the videos and pictures you post.
Ivey will never imagine how many people love her.
Thanks so much Gwen for allowing us to see your precious Ivey.
