This year I noticed something different in all of the pictures of Ivey's birthday. This was the first year that there were none, no not one, somber face caught in any of the 400+ pictures. This year we truly celebrated - Ivey's birthday's are always a sweet reminder of life, real life, and all that it takes to live it. She wraps it all up in a pretty package for all of us. That's her gift to us. But this year- all of us- have learned to find the sweetness in all of life's lessons.....This year I see only pure JOY in all the pictures - Godspeed baby girl...my 'beautiful girl'
YOU ARE SURROUNDED BY LOVE - LITERALLY

All in all we collected many many books for Georgia PINES to be brailled for all of Georgia's blind/visually impaired or deafblind children. What a great gift to pass on...literacy.

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...
