Another Update From Boston!


From Mary...

 Open heart surgery is on the board for tomorrow.   However, Doctor Baird has 2 other surgeries tomorrow. Small ones.  If for some reason he can't get her done tomorrow he is coming in Saturday early morning to put in this new valve. A tissue valve this time.

I have a really good feeling about this. Huge sense of peace! He's still in the miracle business folks, lets blow up our faith a notch or two and believe Ivy is going to sail through this surgery like 
nobody else could!!!!!

    I am a MomMom to four beautiful Grand daughters, one from China with special needs. I so admire you and your family for giving Lexi and Ivy a chance at life and a loving family. My prayers are with Ivy and all of you as you continue to go through these trying times. I raised three children with major illnesses as a single Mother. So as a Mother and a MomMom who knows what you are going through, Good Bless little Ivy. MM

    Ok, but listen... tell Dr. Baird that this is the last time he's allowed to mess with that little sparkly heart. ;)
    Oh, thank God for that man.

    Trusting my wonderful Creator so much that He will guide Dr. Baird's hands and will give him discernment to make the right moves every second of the procedure.

    Trusting Him to envelop my Sweet Jellybean and keep her safe and content throughout it and afterwards. As well as her unbelievable, glorious mother; that she has all the peace, assurance and determination He can provide for her. She deserves to be so at peace.

    Many prayers and beautiful thoughts to the Sammons family.

    Mary,
    God is ABSOLUTELY still in the Miracle Business!!!!! Just yesterday, huge, huge miracles happened all over the world because God HEARS and LOVES his children. He cannot be stopped by governments, illness, poverty, wealth, human power or doubt. He is the KING OF KINGS. Rest, Dear Friend, in knowing that prayers are constantly being brought before the throne for Precious Ivy and for you.
    In Him,
    Amy Root

    My husband asked today how the little girl who had heart surgery is doing now. We share prayer requests at the supper table, and then say the blessing at the end and pray for those who were mentioned. Ivy has been the topic of a few supper-time prayers. I havent been online in over a week. I popped by to see how things are and found this. Prayers going up for you.
