Cath and Surgery Update

The cath is over and done with, and Ivy is doing great. We got started pretty early this morning, and things went really well. Scott and I had a 3 hour wait while she was having the cath before we heard the verdict on whether or not surgery would get the go ahead, and once it was over we only got good news. The surgery will occur as scheduled, bright and early tomorrow morning. It will be a pretty long procedure, but they don't anticipate any problems, and should be done sometime in the afternoon. Of course we will post as often as possible, but you know how it is.......so be patient. In the meantime, here are a few pictures from today.....Thank goodness the hospital has free wi-fi!

Here she is playing in her hospital jammies before we really got started

waiting, waiting, waiting for things to get going

This was right before we handed her off, she was tired, hungry, and didn't want to go with those people!

They had A LOT of trouble getting an IV in, here are the tries on her hand, her foot looks the same way, full of holes!

Here she is relaxing after a long hard day, getting ready for an even longer, and way harder day tomorrow. We love you baby girl, be strong!

K - so the last picture just made me bawl my eyes out - I'm still emotionally messed up from breastfeeding hormones. Anyway, she is in our prayers for sure. She is a little fighter so I know all will be well. GOOD LUCK!!
