Double update



Ivy came out of surgery and back to her room at the wee hours. The surgeon said the bleed was very large. Her brain appeared unaffected and unharmed  so they were able to re attach her skull. She has 2 drains in tact. She is stable. 

 Morning update:
We just met with neurologists. The bleed is still very active. They may have to take her back to the OR and if they do they need her 100% anti coagulated. This puts her heart in great jeopardy. The heart team does not want her being given any more plasma, there is great fear of clotting in the vales and stent. Trusting today that God will stop the bleed with his own hands.

    Heard about your sweet Ivy Joy from a friend in MD. We're here in IL praying for you. Strangers on this earth we may be but united in Christ. Just as the scripture says my groanings will be taken by the Holy Spirit to the Father

    My heart is heavy and aches hearing this as you know our story Mary of our beautiful daughter CaiLi Rose who experienced much of what sweet precious Ivy Joy has been experiencing over the last day. Our family's love and prayers are with you all. We trust God's plan and knows he is holding her close with His love and care. Little Miss Ivy is a fighter and she will give life all she has like she has always done! Blessings and praying from our hearts! --- The Jares Family in MN.

    I've been following your blog since you brought your sweet Ivy Joy home and she has been on my prayer list ever since. God is healing her little heart and pray that he will, with his own hands, stop this bleeding. Ivy, you and your family are in my prayers. Praying from Atlanta.
