Wish I could be there to share in the excitement, but I am always cheering for her no matter where I am. All my love. Hope you are all well! Please tell Bert I said hello, I imiss her, and she is in my thoughts always.

How great for Ivey, and you Gwen! I was so encouraged as I watched, Ivey is a great inspiration for our little man.

Eamon has a kid kart arriving this week. It is long overdue and much needed! Eamon so wants to be socially involved, but does better in a side-lying position. Hopefully the Kart will provide the support he needs to be more upright! He is being casted for braces tomorrow, and there is talk of a stander. Very exciting.

Thank you all so much for taking time to share this milestone with our family. It is so great that you all are a part of our lives just as Ivey is a part of yours. And yes, I will give our reason for going with green. As soon as I get all of the pictures downloaded I will post more. There are only 300 or so to choose from! If you haven't left Ivey a comment, please do. Someday when she is older she will marvel at the love and prayer that surrounds her - in all the moments of her life. gwen

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...
