Four Days
Ivy's improvement over the past four days has been the most dramatic we've seen yet! I'm not exaggerating, I'm stating this objective truth. I think there is finally a good balance on all her meds, and she's starting to get comfortable here. She's settled into daily routine, which allows her to sleep through the night, and be more alert during the day. Her vocabulary is coming back, she's forming more of her own ideas in conversation. She plays uno (with help holding the cards). In the physical therapy gym a string hangs from the ceiling. Ivy has been reaching for it everyday since she got here. It wasn't an exercise or anything, she just started doing it on her own. Yesterday, after two weeks of trying, she was able to reach high enough to touch it! Little accomplishments like these really boost Ivy's confidence. The last four days we've seen a lot more laughing than crying.

I am not related to Ivy,nor am I a 'friend' of hers.In spite of this, she has had a great impact on my life. She has given great hope and faith to all. She has proved that a greater good does exist, and that prayers are heard.thomas
Ivy! You're awesome!
Keep up the good work. I can't wait 'til you walk back into the pediatrics dept just to say "Hi" and show off a new blue streak!
I told some of the girls at work about your blog and how I was keeping track of you...they all said to say hi and send their love!
"A heart is not judged by how much you love,but by how much you are loved by others." Ivy must have the best heart in the whole world.
I love to read about Ivy's progress. As I see posts I share them with the staff here at French.
We all love to read about her accomplishments, both big and small. Keep getting stronger !!!
Our hearts are with you and we look forward to seeing you as a visitor...soon !!
Randy and the FHMC staff
