Ivy was born May 6, 2019 with the diagnosis of Ventriculomegaly and Microcephaly. Which means the ventricles of her brain were enlarged and her head was smaller than it should be. Ivy spent the first month of her life in the NICU at Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus OH. Once she was able to regulate her temperature on her own and it was decided that her brain issues could be monitored, she was sent home at just under a month old. Over the next 2 months Ivy was doing great. She was growing and showing no signs of any issues. On August 19 Ivy started having seizures, she was taken by squad to our local hospital and transferred to Children’s. They ran every test possible to figure out what was happening. Was it an infection? Her known issues? Or something else entirely? Within a day Ivy was placed on a ventilator and kept sedated for a few days. She was showing signs of improvement so she was taken off of the vent. She was doing well so she was actually transferred out of PICU and had a discharge plan in the works with medications for her seizures. On Tuesday August 27 I received a phone call that Ivy was having issues breathing shortly after that she had to be put back on the ventilator. She received a Catscan of her brain that evening which showed some major changes from the one a week prior. Now Ivy had hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy which could not be explained. The PICU attending stated that Ivy had swelling of her brain and it was commonly seen in drowning victims. He stated that something had happened in the few days prior but after the previous weeks CT. Ivy was showing major signs of distress she had a blood glucose of 580 and all of her labs were out of whack for no known reason. She was placed on an insulin pump, EEG (to monitor seizure activities again), treatment to correct electrolyte issues and was sedated. The following days are a blur. We took turns being in the room so Ivy would always have one of us in with her. The sedation was lifted but Ivy didn’t wake up. She continued to have seizures and experience issues with blood sugar and other labs. Ivy’s brain just didn’t know what to do. The damage was so severe that they said Ivy would never be able to live without the ventilator. The difficult decision was made to provide comfort care and to remove her ventilator. On 8-29-19 around 630 the ventilator was removed. We were prepared for her to pass within minutes. Those minutes turned to hours then to over a day. As each hour passed it was becoming more difficult for Ivy to breath. She took small shallow breaths. She was placed on fentanyl then morphine when it was determined she needed something longer acting. The last 8 hours she was placed on a morphine pump to cut time down of preparing her meds. She could receive every 15 minutes. This greatly helped her for awhile as her heart rate and oxygen sat would improve for a bit after her meds. This small improvement showed us that she was receiving some relief with the medication. Ivy hung on for 36 hours and passed away at 829am with her mommy and daddy in bed with her. Those of us who watched this angel come into this world were with her in the end also.
