My dad had OHS and he said it took him about a year to say he felt the same strength, etc as he did before the operation. Ivy is so strong! Such a fighter. I'm praying for lots of calories to go to those little legs and lots of gunk to get out of those lungs. I fell to my knees in a prayer of thanks to see the post with her eyes open! Joy!!! Still thinking of you and praying for Ivy's quick, complete healing every day.

We're missionaries in Mexico and have 4 kids (8, 7, 5, 2). They have all been crazy praying for "Baby Ivy and her mama"!! I had mentioned how hard all this was on you, now that your hubby had to go back! :) Even our 2 year old little girl has been praying for "Baby Ivy and for her heart to get all better." And she has translated your request as "and for her mama to get all better, too!" Too sweet- they have prayed all weekend long, so I just had to share that your little girl was being lifted up mightily down here in Oaxaca!! May God continue to receive the glory and honor for His mighty healing of this brave little Ivy!! We all think both your girls look just like little china dolls!! So beautiful!! :) :)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16417033315094965433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217696818361310354.post-56446670616264097972012-11-05T06:01:36.826-08:002012-11-05T06:01:36.826-08:00What great news to start the day with!!!

That is BIG NEWS!<br /><br />We will keep praying for her to be strengthened! After our little Kevin had his surgery (and it wasn't near the extent of sweet Ivy's) it took him a good 3 weeks to walk again. Not only was he weak, but he was fearful too, I think. So we will step up the prayers for Miss Ivy and her strength! <br /><br />So so thankful for God's mercy and healing in her life!!!!!Lainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17793604475629395024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217696818361310354.post-71533844839560776982012-11-05T05:33:40.421-08:002012-11-05T05:33:40.421-08:00Great News!

I learned from the last surgery that no posting usually means you are busy with Ivy Joy...so that is good news!!! Our family continues to hold Ivy in our hearts and we continue to pray for her strength to return and for her lungs to be less wet!! Tell those nurses that if they had gone through what Ivy has gone through..they would be giving hairy eyeballs too...although I think they probably know that!!<br />Love and hugs<br />Kathiesierrasmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07325423303969796040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8217696818361310354.post-81107043165015240262012-11-05T04:48:54.741-08:002012-11-05T04:48:54.741-08:00I'm so happy to hear that Ivy is doing so much...I'm so happy to hear that Ivy is doing so much better.
