So Ivy had her Cath today. We had to get up at 5:45 am to get to the hospital on time, which is SUPER early for us, but she was such a trooper. She was very cooperative throughout day, and did great. They put two catheteters through 2 veins in her groin area, and another one through a vein in her neck. But she tolerated everything like a champ, and Dr Womack was able to get everything done that he needed to. It was an awesome day...A LONG DAY...but an awesome day. I'm so proud of my little superstar. Here are some pictures from the day.
Playing before Dr. W arrived.
The cath stuff took about 4 hours..We finally got to see Ivy at about 2 pm. Believe it or not, this is literally minutes after we walked in the room. She was sitting up, happy, and wanting to play with the ipad.
Then she got snuggly with daddy before he had to go pick up our other 3 children.
Riding in the wagon away from the recovery room to a regular room.
And the most exciting moment of the day for Ivy...Chicken nuggets...She was STARVING and could not stop talking about those nuggets!
We finally made it home at about 6:30pm. By then Ivy was quite grumpy and tired and fell asleep within seconds of laying her in bed. What a sweetheart. I love this girl! Thanks to everyone who remembered us in their prayers. Every prayer counts!
Glad to hear everything went well today! And she was sitting up playing with the iPad right afterwards? She IS a trooper- Aly is normally passed out for a few hours. LOL Good job Ivy! <3
