It has been a quiet and completely uneventful day here in Room 9!! No activity whatsoever! So quiet and peaceful that I actually took a 1.5 hour power nap this afternoon, ordered by my fabulous nurses!!!
Ivy's little heart is doing sensational. She is showing the doctors her determination and strong will to live once again! Both her doctors and her nurses say that there is not one thing they could expect to be better at this point! Woo hoo baby girl!!
So Im keeping it short today. Just wanted you all to know how ~our~ girl is doing. This village of prayer warriors really has become our special
Ivy will remain paralyzed and sedated until her chest gets closed. Dr Baird will not be at the hospital tomorrow and he wants to be the one to close it so that will happen first thing Tuesday morning. After that, it will be just a few more days of slowly waking her up and as soon as she is awake enough to breath, we will get that ventilator out and start our road to recovery!! I can hardly wait!!!!!
Thanks be to God for Ivy's progress so far! Still praying!

ReplyDeleteWonderful words to read after checking the blog about 10 times today! I don't know if I've posted before, but I've prayed and prayed for Ivy Joy and the family that loves her so much. So grateful to God for the hope of healing of Ivy's heart, but also for the "heart" of the faith community strengthened by the gift of prayer.
