Battle won - War still Raging

That'll be Momma 1 : Ivey 0 (Just for today)

This little hat stayed on from 11:30 am until 8:00 pm. A record. Thus, hearing aids stayed on too. Oh how she tried at times to manuver out of it!

For sanity's sake, we have decided to tackle her hearing aids first. Then we will start over with her eyes. So for now, Ivey will not be wearing her eyes.

Precious pictures of the kids.How much they love each other really shows through.What a great a day it will be when my little guys can take Zoey out in the wagon on a little date!I can't imagine.Way to momma but we won't claim you triumphant yet, as anyone who follows Ivey knows,her determination may prove victorious.

Oh my. What a choice to have to make!
Hope she adjusts well... to both, eventually. But I can see your logic in going with the ears for now.

What a brilliant idea, wearing a ballaclava so she can´t yank out the ear plugs. Good thinking Bat Woman! I am so pleased to have an update - even her in Spain I needed my Ivy update. She is doing so splendidly!
Keep up the fabulous work!

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...
