Uh-Oh

Last night, or rather at a very early 4:00 am, Ivey spiked a very high fever.  We spent the better part of our morning visiting Ivey's pediatrician.  When it comes to physicians, Ivey has the best.  Right now we are trying to determine if this is all related to test results that are pending from Ivey's previous hospital stay at Scottish Rite.  For now we have put her back on a pretty tough antibiotic until we find out more from the infectious disease doctor at Scottish Rite.  Cross your fingers -

On the upside, through this miserably high fever, Ivey has not seized.  Amazing! 

So if you were Ivey, this is where you would find yourself all snuggled up.  She rides around the house from room to room in her jogging stroller - so I can monitor her for seizures.  The pink polka-dot blanket is her favorite snuggly. 

Later on in the day, Ivey perked up a little and we put her hair up into her very first piggy tails! 
Sometimes she likes for me to play with her hair. 
Normally not so much, she would rather twist mine through her fingers.   
I know I am biased, but she is adorable.

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...
