Ivey will go in for surgery in the morning at Scottish Rite. Both her cranio-facial surgeon and her ENT will perform procedures. There are several procedures on the docket, all of which are simple. Please keep Ivey in your prayers tomorrow. Will update as soon as possible.
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...

I read your blog often and it is very inspiring. My husband serves on staff at West Rome Baptist and I have shared your blog with many of my friends, there. We will all be praying for Ivey and your family, as she has surgery tomorrow.
In His Love,
Amy
