Story Homecoming Update

October 23, 2009

The Jacket full movie thanks to my brother TIM for some amazing photos at tonight’s Homecoming in the Austin airport.  Jamie & Story arrived in the airport at 7pm to a crowd of 35+ friends with balloons, posters, and tears.  What a picture of the Church!!  wow.  I’ve posted a few of Tim’s pics on the blog… and you can visit his site to check out his other great shots.  and thanks to everyone that showed up at the airport tonight to welcome Story home!

a bit of UPDATE about her health..
Jamie took her to Dell Children’s ER. as soon as the ER heard the context of adoption, 3rd world, sick, etc… they immediately took her in. this was about 2.5 hours ago (9pmCST).
doctors are concerned about odd symtoms in relation to unknowns of where she’s from.

The Holiday movie

they took her to a room immediately.  the doctor came in and said, “are you Aaron Ivey’s wife? i know your story and we’re going to take really good care of this little girl.” turns out, he goes to The Stone.  what a Divine action to allow someone who knows us be caring for our daughter the very night she comes home with sickness.
they are running all kinds of tests right now…so many unknowns…checking for spinal meningitis…xrays…etc.  so far, no results…or thoughts on what might be wrong.  she has a fever, very lethargic, has slept 20 hours a day, can’t use her legs, screams because head hurts.

she’ll be there for a while.  i’m glad some of Jamie’s friends are hanging out with her tonight.  and my brother is texting me play-by-play from Story’s hospital room.  i’m counting down the hours to when i get on my plane home tomorrow.

    I can’t imagine what you must feel not being able to be there. Praying for the whole family this morning. And praising God that she is able to be home with her family while going through this.

    Aaron, My wife and I are so happy for y’all, yet concerned with you at the same time. I can only imagine how difficult this is. Please know we are praying for your family and for Story. We believe in God’s goodness and His hand of provision. Stay strong.
