Here's some video of Ivy talking. Again, her voice is very weak at this point. She still has to relearn how to coordinate her tongue and lips.
Notes: In the first clip, mom is giving her water with a little sponge. In the second clip, she is talking to Marco. She says: "Hi Marco....yeah.....good."
Some quick background: Years ago, when Ivy was about five, there was a beer in the fridge. I don't remember how it got there, because mom and Frank weren't drinking beer. But it was there, in very back of the fridge, and it had been there for years. Ivy though, thinking it was a soda, fished it out from behind all the food, opened it, and took a swig. Of course after tasting it, she immediately spit it out. She had no idea what this awful substance was. Mom explained to her that it was beer and adults drink them. She couldn't understand why anyone would drink something so foul.
