Today is a big day- Ivey got her trach out! Gwen and Matt are enjoying watching sweet Ivey play and talk, trach free. Gwen got to do the honors of taking out Ivey's trach. She is doing great and will be coming home tomorrow.

Gwen, I'm getting caught up. I remembered Ivey's birthday last week and thought about what a milestone 2 is! Addie's is next week, and it seems strange that a girl as tiny as she can be a real two-year old! I know you know what I mean.

I'm SO glad the trach is out--what a long road it has been, and I'm thrilled for you that it's over! I'm praying that the freedom Ivey finds from not having it will spill over into everything else she does.

(And the boys have gotten so BIG! So precious, all three of them!!)

Still praying for you guys :)
