Ivy Joy is in the house

Ivy came up to the ICU a few minutes ago and is getting all hooked up as I type. 
It will be another hour before we are allowed in the room. Her surgeon should be up to see us soon. I absolutely can't wait to hear what he has to say! We are getting a bit sleepy waiting and I am certain Ivy's surgeon feels 10 times worse! I can't wait to thank that man!! I will have lots to share in the morning. Thank you all my friends for what you have done today! I know you are all just as exhausted as I am!! But after all the stress of the day, we have quite a gift! A little girl who was given little hope, now has hope!!!! A chance!! And Jesus has big plans for that little girl. Big!!!
