Exploding with Joy and Thanksgiving!!

His will has been done, our prayers have been answered, Our God can do anything!!!
A smaller homograft did not come in, they used the 19mm and Dr. Nigro was able to make it work!
Ivy's heart has been repaired, we do not know if they ended up doing the Nikaidoh or the Rastelli, we have not seen her surgeon yet, they are closing her up now but she is OFF bypass and her baby heart is beating on its own!!!! This whole day has been amazing, the peace that has surrounded us has made the time go by quickly. We have been blessed with my sisters presence much of the day, she is a gift!! I will post details once we speak with the doctors and as time allows but I had to let you this great news. Ivy is amazing!!!! How thankful I am for this chance!!

    I've been following your blog every day just praying that things would go well. So happy to hear that she can now start her road to recovery. Can't wait to see the pink hands/feet. It's funny how I've never even met Ivy or her family but she is often in my thoughts and prayers. I'm praying for a speedy recovery for your beautiful baby girl.

    Amen! That is wonderful news! My daughter's are so excited and happy too! My 7 year old is really excited b/c she is participating in Jump Rope for Heart at her school this week and has been saying all along how she is jumping to "help children with heart injuries" and now she can actually relate to what they are helping to raise the money for! :)
    So thrilled for Ivy and you all! We will continue saying prayers for her speedy recovery!

    I too have been following your journey and lifting little Ivy up in prayer. Praising God for guiding the doctors, strength and peace for her mommy & daddy, and His healing hands on Ivy.

    Nothing can keep us from the love of God or the healing within his hands!
    God is so GOOD!!
