Smilin' Ivy 
Big Yawn
She's So Cute
Sleepy Smile
Good day everybody. Scott here with the latest update on Ivy Maxine! Our little baby girl is doing so well! Today we saw her without ANY IV's. This is the first time since the day she was born that she has not had an IV somewhere. You can tell that she is so relieved to have all of her limbs back in full use. But, The greatest news of all, is that she is now starting to smile at us! She smiles every few minutes in her sleep and when she is awake, she smiles almost every time you talk to her. She is so adorable and so pleasant. On thursday of last week, we heard from the surgery team that she should have her abdominal surgery this coming tuesday. This might change, but we are hoping that it does happen soon, so that Ivy can be out of the hospital by Christmas. A few other fun things that we wanted to mention are that she had her one month birthday last sunday. She was visited by Jerry Sloan and Mehmet Okur of the Utah Jazz and she got a cool autographed mini basketball. She was moved from the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) to the Childrens Surgical Unit. This means she is doing so well that she doesn't need her own nurse all the time now, so that is way good. Also, it looks like her hair may be turning red. Now that we have a room with a window, we have better light and it looks red. Rochelle is very jealous. After her surgery on tuesday, she will be moved back to the PICU but it's okay, we are friends with all the nurses by now and they are all missing Ivy. Thanks for all your support, See ya!
