To give a little more background about lovely Izzy:

At her birth there were a series of complications, resulting in emergency operations, eating with a feeding tube for months and basically working through more than most adults have had to bear.  Her parents are rocks -I am so impressed with how they have handled everything, so positive and practical -like, “You just do what you have to do for you child, any other parent would do the same.”  But they do it with such grace, it really is inspiring.

I asked before posting if I could share a little about Izzy’s journey and they said ‘share away’ because they want her story to help other people going through something similar and to also think of Izzy and send her prayers.  She is going in for heart surgery on October 6th -so if you think of it that day, please send some well wishes through the air to her…

Her beautiful mamma, Christie:

The photo shoot was the first time her feeding tube was out for more than a few minutes, so she would grab at her nose, like, where is that thing??
