Meeting Robin and Larry

Recently Ivy met Robin and Larry again. Though she doesn't have any memory of it, she had met them once before on the day she collapsed. They went to Subway that afternoon just before Ivy took her break. Larry noticed an abandoned gameboy, and Ivy knew who had left it. So she took off into the parking lot to catch the family before they left. Robin and Larry finished their lunch and wondered why Ivy hadn't returned. They began leaving the parking lot and that's when they noticed Ivy on the ground. There were a couple of other people around her, and fortunately 911 had already been called. But it was critical that Robin was had been there at that time, because although someone had already administered mouth-to-mouth, Robin knows how to perform chest compressions.  So she was able to do that until the paramedics arrived a short time later.
We are a thankful beyond words to Robin and Larry, and everyone there at those critical moments. Ivy looks forward to meeting more of you in the future.

Words can't express how happy I was to see Ivy and her family come for a visit.
Ivy, you are one strong force to deal with, and I know you will be up and on your own in due time. Stay strong and believe.
Robin
