Update

Sorry I'm late getting this up. We got home from Memphis and our modem had crashed. Once again, I have internet back.
Ivee did well at her check up. She used her walker for the therapist, which is a big thing. We are "uping" her feeds, her weight has been down. She came out of the MRI fine, and within 20 minutes was her grouchy self. She is always like this. The neurosurgeon said that everything he sees is still stable. Her brain stem is still in the same position with the same pressure on it, but as long as she is moving forward (no matter how slow that may be) then she is okay. We just need to watch for any regression, that would be a sign of an issue with the brain stem.
Ivee has a speech therapy this Thursday. Praying that they will be able to help her and give us some more insight. Hopefully she will eat for them. She loves to walk, but with someones hand most of the time...not with her walker.
Her comprehension and vocabulary is still expanding. She loves school. She has discovered that playdough is an okay thing, so she wants to play with it all the time. She is always wanting to color. She reminds us to pray at every meal, and she leads the pray at meal time and bed time. Not sure what she is saying, but she just wants to talk to Jesus.
Remember to pray for Johnny Sileno and his family (he is in our links column). They found a cloudy place on his last MRI. He will be returning to St. Jude in a few weeks for another scan.

So glad Ivee did well @ her checkup. There were many times in Puggles, Ivee was the only one in "prayer mode":).
We hold you in our hearts and prayers.
Love, Anna

Hey Hope,
Thanks so much for keeping us posted on Ivee's progress. Rolling out the play-doh is so much fun! I am so touched that our Ivee prays to Jesus. She truly knows the source of her life and blessings. Praying for you, Em, Brittney, Ethan as we all trust God ALL the time.

God bless,
