Greetings friends, family, accomplices of Ivy Alvarado! The purpose of this blog is twofold; it serves as a resource for those interested in Ivy's recovery, and a record she can look back on charting her progress and all the people pulling for her. To that end, we encourage people to add their own posts. A rumor-free account of what happened to Ivy exists here. We love you Ivy. Your progress astounds us every single day!

Another Brief Escape
We got Ivy out again Sunday. She once again spent time with Biscuit and went over to grandma's in the evening. This time we ate out at Charlie's Trio for her first restaurant meal in over three months. We came back to Grandma's and watched "Juno" before Ivy treked back to the hospital. We've been concerned with Ivy's attention span since she regained consciousness and started communicating. Sometimes it seems very short. But when watching one of her favorite movies she was able to really focus in and enjoy it. At least we know she is capable of focusing for long periods of time when she wants to.

I'm so glad you guys were able to spring her again!
Go, Ivy!

Wonderful to hear you got out and about again, Ivy! I imagine that it takes an enormous amount of energy to focus on something for long, especially when there is lots going on around you. As always when I read here I am humbled by how hard you are working and how far you have come.
Love you!

There is nothing better than escaping the clutches of the nurses that watch over you. We ARE so happy to hear you are getting Ivy out of the hospital, even if only for 12 hours. She must be doing very well to gain furlough. We also undrstand the iportance of a 12 hour respite.
Way To Go Alvarado Family !!!!!!!!
