The night before


 I am back at my sleep station early tonight. Im going to eat a real dinner and get a good night sleep. I have felt every one of your prayers today, every single one. I am so blessed!
And I know that tomorrow is going to be a great day. 
A mechanical valve is going to be the ticket to energy and freedom for little miss!
Well freedom with a helmet on anyway! And a padded suit!



 I love her so much! We all do right! So pray with me, tomorrow, from 7 to whenever they finish! Because God has huge plans for this little girl !

  13. Team Ivy MSP is wearing their shirts tomorrow!!! I can just see Jesus there next to Dr. Baird!!! It's a beautiful picture!!!!! Stay strong sweet Mary!!! Praying you get the rest you need tonight!!!!!

    And, I must go back to my Ivy verse...

    26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

  14. Praying, Praying, Praying! I do not comment as often as I come to read but please know we are praying! I am just awe struck by her beauty, even when she has to be feeling miserable with everything she has been through. And what is even more beautiful is the testimony she will be able to share with others someday. Praying for strength for you as well!

  28. We will be thinking of your girl all day. We hope that this is the operation that will make her blossom again.
    Our daughter is also on blood thinners for whole her life, and our doctor told us: the body knows. Since our daughter started she has had less "accidents", she just feels she has to be careful. Ivy will feel that too. But first the operation....lots of goods thoughts all the way from Europe!
