Ivy makes a sequence by starting with the number 35, then repeatedly making the next term by reversing the digits of the current number and adding 6. The first few terms of this sequence are:
$$35$$ $$53+6 = 59$$ $$95+6 = 101$$
What is the first number in Ivy's sequence that is smaller than the previous term?
