Dear Team Ivy!
Diana here, privileged to scribe for sweet Mary! I am not going to make this long... No time for that. It's time to get on our knees once again for this little angel, we call Ivy Joy!!!!
Sadly, Ivy's fluoroscopy procedure today revealed no change.. Her blood clot has not dissolved and therefore her mitral-valve is not working.. She is deteriorating quickly, and therefore the decision has been made to airlift her to Boston Children's in the morning...
Mary has so much to do to quickly prepare for another potentially long stay on the east coast.. Will you please pray for Mary.. Pray that God will orchestrate her steps in the very short amount of time she has to get ready for this journey.. For Mary's children that will be staying back... Especially, for Lexi who will be separated from her Mommy and her sister once again.. For Bryan as he manages it all long distance... I could go on and on.. As my friend Mary said earlier today, God CAN do this!!
Mary will be in touch once she has time to breathe.
Thank you for standing in the gap!!! It's time for battle once again.. Get your shirts on and get ready to storm the gates of Heaven for the very precious Ivy Joy!!!!
I leave you with this verse:
Joshua 1:9
"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid;
do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

My prayers are going to the Boston team for WISDOM and GUIDANCE to get Ivy mended. Prayers for Mary's strength and courage. Prayers for Ivy's fighting spirit. Prayers for the family at home for peaceful hearts. Prayers for Ivy's heart to heal.
Pleas God, heal this amazing child!
I have been stalking your blog all day for an update! Y'all have been on my heart. Saying big prayers for a very safe flight and for peace that you will be with the right doctors to heal sweet Ivy Joy!

Mary, You are showing the world love and faith in action. I am praying God's mercy and grace for your whole family and especially for you and Ivy as you take this trip to Boston.
Psalm 4
Answer me when I call to you,
O my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;
be merciful to me and hear my
prayer.
I will not let them out of my thoughts!!
I know that people are praying for Ivy in Texas, Missouri and Indonesia and many, many other places. Hoping she surprises them all once again by being the tough little gal that she is. :-)
Still praying for the whole family.
Ivy and Mary have been on my mind all day long. Praying for them and their whole family!! xoxo
Sending our prayers to the family for strength and the doctors in Boston.
Oh, Sweet Ivy Joy! I only "know you" from this blog-but I shed tears when I read of this new set-back. Lots of people praying and at least this time, you 'know' your Boston team 'very well' and they know your heart, better than their own. Then add 'God's guiding hand' on top of theirs-and you have 'The BEST'. Will say extra prayers for safe travels and a quick resolution to your problems, so you can hurry back home. Also, 'peace' for your mom, dad and family. Peace, in knowing 'God has this all under control' & already having a strong bond with the Boston care team, hopefully reduces some anxiety. Ivy Joy-you have proven you are a fighter. We don't know why God has chosen this path for you and your family have already taught us all lessons about love, faith, hope & trust. We'll be thinking & praying for you and hope that your mom will soon be able to post a picture of you smiling & back home. Pam- Chicago
We can do this team IVY! Keep praying!

Prayers said and will continue for Ivy, family and medical staff.
Ivy Joy, our sweet princess warrior, keep fighting just a little longer, little one, until God uses the surgeons' hands in Boston to fix that stubborn valve. Please know how much you are loved and prayed for by everyone who knows you and your story. You have fought longer than most and we are so proud of you. You have become a little hero for us all. Praying for you all, Mommy, Daddy and sisters and brother. God is bigger than all of this.

I am just so sad that your journey continues to remain so steep! You will be in some kind of shape when this is over, huh? ;-) Know that I NEVER tire of praying for you and precious Ivy... Praying that you both would sense God especially near right now... washed in His grace and peace! Know, too, that you are so very loved, sweet friend!

When I am afraid, I will trust in Him. Psalm 56:3
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
Heal me, LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. Jeremiah 17:14
Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, "Don't be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed." Luke 8:50
Praying. God is good. Always. God works for the good of those who love him. Ivy is one of his 'favorites'. He's got this. He's got y'all in his hands. It is simply the best place to be!
