Drum roll please.
Can you tell what's going on?
Of course not. It just looks like a bubble bath, right?
Well maybe.
For Ivey this was her first bath EVER that water ran down her face…around her neck!
Sound like a small feat? Well maybe – for most.
Remember back once upon a time there was an ng-tube in her nose and tape all over her face….then there was a trach……now there has been an open hole in her neck (covered with gauze)….all of which means no water, just a sponge bath on her face and neck.
Well, I think the opening from her trach has closed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally after two and a half years there are no coughs, sputters or gagging. Just one great BIG smile from water tickling her neck!!
For the first time…… a real bubble bath!!!!!
(It's hard to see, but there are bubbles everywhere!)

Nothing like a warm,sudsy bubble bath for a hard working girl.Love the pictures.When you click on them you can see the bubbles really well!Splash a way little darling and tell momma you need at least one of these a day.
Well, a girl's first bubble bath is certainly something to celebrate! xoxoxo
Oh Ivey,
How this post from your momma makes me not take ANYTHING for granted. (tears again!) I bet you loved to feel the water trickle around your ears and over your eyes and down your little belly. I hope you have many more luxurious bubble baths, cause that's what all Princesses need!
Here's to many more bubble baths,

Ah yes, introducing her to the joys of the ultimate feminine relaxation technique, the bubble bath, can only be a good thing.
