Anything you ask for in prayer!

 As you can see, she has lost quite a few accessories in one short morning! What a day it has been!!!
I walked in to her room as usual this morning, but later than normal. I overslept and did not get to her room until 8am.
I did what I always do. Dropped my bag off. Washed my hands. Turned on the lights. Walked to the bed and kissed her head, held her hands and said good morning tiny miracle!
And she opened her eyes!! She looked at me for a few seconds, then around the room, then back at me. I began to talk to her. She shook her head NO to everything I said. You've been such a sleepy girl. NO
You are my brave little hero. NO
I love you so much and I missed you so much. NO
Laughing, crying, just overjoyed, I squeezed my tiny little miracle as long as I could and called the nurse.
Things began to move quickly. Ivy pulled off the Bi Pap mask. She was very graceful about it. It was big, annoying and oh so unsightly, so she just carefully removed it. Standing in awe as the doctors and other nurses came around to see Sleeping beauty had come back to us, her oxygen saturation only dropped to the high 80's, low 90's. So Respiratory came and skipped right passed the High Flow one would normally step down to, and went right to regular oxygen. They started her at 2 liters and then wanted to see just how amazing she was, dropped it to 1 liter and she remained at 99-100% saturation! Cheers began and cheers continue!!!
Next she had some lines removed. She had not needed them for a while but since no one really understood why she still was not waking up, they left them in, just in case. Out they came!!
She asked for water so we tried some. She drank way too much way too fast and choked a little. She asked for more so we took it slower. I asked her if she wanted to eat and she nodded NO.
She had a bath and got fresh clothes and even went for a ride in the go cart. She was not impressed with her walk, or all the people saying hello or even her mommy to be honest. She is not happy about all the junk on her arms and face and she is still in quite a fog. She knows what is going on basically, but she seems very dizzy still and very very tired obviously. We had a good amount of awake time, took a nap and then mommy got hold her baby girl!!

She had been rejecting me all day (totally a normal thing) and nodding NO when asked if she wanted me to hold her. But suddenly she decided to forgive me for all of this and she gave me some holding time. 

We ordered her some mac n cheese upon her request and she ate a great amount of it. She usually takes forever to chew and eat but today she just gobbled it up! She has a working heart now!! Lot's of things will come easier to her now!

 Her little body is so tiny and her legs have hanging skin from all the lack of muscle and fat. I have no doubt that will be a thing of the past in no time!~

The fluffy socks were requested by the nurses who always stop in her room to see her. We were happy to oblige!

 This picture gives you an idea of just what a bitty thing she is. My hand size in gloves is small... He feet are just adorable! Sorry for all the pictures but remember this is my documentation of the life of the girls and all that Ivy has been through and overcome. I think she should see this some day :)

It was a very busy morning so mommy put the do not disturb sign on the door and closed it! Leave this baby alone!

Thank you Team Ivy for asking!!! We indeed have received!!

Thank you Father in heaven for this family I am so unworthy of.  Thank you for carrying me through every day of this beautiful journey! Amen Pin It
