Short and sweet


Trucking along still!! Chest tube is OUT!
INR's still not where we need them.
Porky is still porking away! 
She is so happy! 
She is getting so strong!!
I'm just over the moon right now.











Elevator rides are the highlight of her day. 
This is really a nothing kinda video... but at least you get to hear her incredibly sweet voice.

    Ivy Joy looks strong and beautiful! She is very smart and i am sure she is going to move mountains when all of these sufferings are behind. Her forehead is big and smaller than her face indicates that she is going to be very smart and tough (i l learned this from my grandma when she was still alive) which i think it is so true in her case. Who knows?? My six year old who i told you that she is very sick told me lately that she wants to be a President when she grows up!! When i asked her why, she said because she wanted to help the whole United States, but especially kids very sick like Ivy and me Mama. When i showed Ivy pic with the cart full of food and chip, she told me she would let Ivy and her Mama live in the Whitehouse with her so Ivy can have a special chef. How awesomes!!
    Thank you God!! Thank you MARY for all of your sacrfies, your sufferings, your loving!! You are my biggest inspiration. Thank you for sharing Ivy story so my children and i can learn and teach each others. They learn to share and love a little girl very much, yet they only see her pic and hear her story!! And last but definitely not least, thank u Miss Ivy Joy for being exactly you!!
    Blessings and love,
    Holly

    You have one brave and very precious little girl!! She has been through so much, and so have you.

    I'm praying for Ivy Joy and for you... spending night after night in the hospital is just exhausting. She is a fighter! Hope you all get out soon. Glad she's eating so well, that is a good sign.

    Hang in there,
    Patty
