Pretty in Pink

Tonight my sweet girl and her daddy are missing their annual Father-Daughter dance together. 

As you can see our girl has broken her right fibula.  We are not sure how she did it or even exactly when she broke it.  As you can imagine there is more to the story, but for now, my mind is exhausted.....

Oh, sweet girl. Cannot even imagine.

Sending love and healing prayers her way and, I know you think I make this crap up, the similarities in the 2 of us and our girls but seriously, are those Robeez, as in pink leather with soft beige fur in the inside, cuz you know what I am going to say, don't you?

When we bought them, 3 years ago, no joke, Mark said, "30 dollars for little baby boots." Here we are, this long after, and she still wears them. Fits her teeny tiny feet that don't grow and since she doesn't walk well, they look fantastic!

I like the pink cast. :) I hope hope hope Orion doesn't break his leg, ever. He has mild osteopetrosis.

I'm looking into getting a wheelchair/stroller for Orion... What kind is Ivey's?

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...
