.....we tried to have a good day today. Ivy walked to the window down the hall outside of her room twice (she still whimpers the entire way which is maybe only 30 feet), and took 2 different LONG wagon rides and 1 quick one. She does not like getting in the wagon, but once she's in she loves it. In her wagon she was allowed to eat cookies and drink chocolate milk (I know, not the greatest choices, but at this point I am just happy she's eating!)
She became acquainted with the bubbles girl statue...
And of course became good friends with........
Spiderman!! I think she remember's him from her previous hospital stays! Only back then his arm was broken!
And the thing that made her happier than having wagon rides....VISITORS!! Her brothers and sisters came by and brought her a gift of skittles and she was super happy to see them. Dexter wanted to eat all her various treat stashes that were sporadically spread throughout the room, Corbin was fascinated by the fact that she could order whatever she wanted off the menu, and Echo just wanted to mess with everything that babies can't mess with. It was so fun to see them (for me too!)
Gma and Gpa came also, they are always wonderful to have around. It was such a mood lifter to see loving faces on such a bummer day.
The plan for tomorrow....GET THOSE DARN CHEST TUBES OUT!!! get the pacer wires out as well, and to take some longer walks and wagon rides! Good job on your progress today Ivy...Even if it seems like you didn't do much, sitting up and walking around is really helping. So is eating 5 whole bites of mac n cheese, 4 cookies, and like 12 potato chips! I just know tomorrow will be a good day!

It was so nice to see Ivy today! She is such a little trooper. You and Scotty are so cute with her. It does my heart good to see what great parents you are to your little Ivy. Love, Marde
Good luck tomorrow. I'll pray hard that tubes come out~ What a traumatic ordeal with those darn IV's...my heart goes out to you and Ivy. I'm so happy that your family and Gma & Gpa were able to make a visit. What a blessing family is. Give Ivy a big love from all of us. Hugs!!!
I'm glad she is trying to get some walks in, but I'll bet the wagon rides are fun. I wish we could have stayed longer so we could have visited her when she was feeling a little better, but that's life sometimes we have to work,even if it's a little part time job.
I love all the pictures! it looks like she enjoys all the fun statues they have all around, and especially visiting with family!take care, we love you!
I am glad the whole fam got to come see Ivy. I bet that was so great! My kids love to read your blog and look at the pictures of Ivy. They bless her in every prayer. Melissa even fasted for her again today. We sure love Ivy. Hope all is well with you, Rochelle. I am sure it is an emotional rollercoaster. You are all amazing and so strong. We hope for chest tubes to be removed soon. Love, Heidi & fam
It was great to see that Picture of the whole family together. Sending lots of love and prayers from Boise.
