Check out Alyvia's scar!! I had been so discouraged the past few days, the doctors kept saying they didn't know if Alyvia would get better and she was having such a hard time with everything. It was so hard knowing that I had this perfect, smart little girl that now looked at me like I was a stranger and was in her own little world that I couldn't bring her out of. After everything little Livie has been through I kept thinking she can't stay like this, she HAS to get better. Then Alyvia fell out of her bed....the nurse had the side rail down and walked out to the hall to get something and somehow Livie fell head first to the floor (We had just locked her bed into place on the tallest setting so Livie's lumbar drain would drain more) So it was quite a fall, she had to have a CAT scan to make sure her head wasn't fractured and her brain wasn't bleeding. It was a rough day. Thank goodness the CAT scan looked good. I finally decided that maybe during the fall Alyvia knocked something back into place in her head.... I have to have more faith that everything will work out alright.
Today has been an amazing day. My little Bug has made a lot of progress, she is trying so hard to talk, the words aren't very clear and she struggles, but she is trying! And she is saying all of the animal noises, I'll ask her what a kitty says and she'll say "Meow," she does it with every animal!! She also started blowing kisses and she's figured out how to nod her head to say yes. She is trying so hard to communicate with us and gets really frustrated when she can't so I still sing to her a lot, its the only thing that seems to comfort her. After today I know that Alyvia can do it, I am going to hang on to this great day because I know we have more rough days to come, but we can do it.
I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has been thinking of us and praying for little Livie Bug. It is amazing the support we have gotten from so many people; friends, family and people I haven't even met. People have been so giving to us, it means the world to know that people care so much. Thank you!!

Hey Megan,
Josh gave me this website so I could finally see how you guys are doing. I feel like such a horrible friend because I don't even know how things are going. I get all my info second hand from Josh and we all know how well he passes on news. Alyvia is such a fighter and you have been such a trooper through all of this. I can't believe how strong of a person you are. You two look so beautiful in your pictures that it seems hard to even believe you two are in the hospital. I miss you guys like crazy. I was going through our pictures and Quinten saw the ones where we were camping and he asked where Livie was. It just goes to show how much of an impression that little girl leaves on everybody's lives. We just found out today that we're going to be having another little boy. I don't know what I'm going to do with 2 boys, but I'm pretty excited. I want you to know that if there is ANYTHING Josh or I can do to please let us know. We've missed having you guys around. Hopefully you'll all be home soon. You guys are in our prayers and thoughts all the time. Love ya
Megan,
I am so glad that you started this blog, we have the calling tree down now - but this will make things easier. She looks beautiful. I am really glad to see pictures. We love you and miss you all. There is hardly a day that goes by that someone isn't calling to ask for the latest. There are so many that love you. Never forget that. Hope to see you both soon. Love, Erin
Megan & Alyvia,
We just wanted to let you know we love you guys so much. I have to agree that you two both look so beautiful in the pictures you've posted. You are both amazingly strong! Keep up the good fight. You're constantly in our prayers. We are coming down to Utah next week - let us know if we can do anything, or bring you anything.
Love your guts!
Todd, Jenny & Ashlee
Megan,
It was absolutely wonderful to hear from you yesterday. I have to say that I just cried when I heard that you actually had some steps forward and that you have received some renewed hope. My heart just aches for you and Alyvia and all that you are going through and I wish there was something more that I could do. I just can't even imagine all that you are going through and you have stayed so amazingly strong. I read the blogs of the "friends" on your page. I have to say you are among angels down there. What an amazing touching thing to read. It looks like Alyvia has come a long way from the pictures. I hope that you are able to have many more steps forward and keep that faith and hope. We will keep you in our prayers and thoughts. Thanks so much for the call and everybody is so excited about the blog so they can know how things are going. Sid
