Sunday

Praise God for Mia's continued success with eating. She is now up to 13 cc's every 6 hours!

The doctors told us that tomorrow they are going to do a bone scan on Mia to see if she has an infection. If that is positive in her pelvic region, then they are going to do a follow-up MRI to make sure it is an infection and not just excess fluid. The plan is to also put in a PICC line tomorrow. In addition, she's been having some "desats" ...that is when the oxygen rate in her blood lowers to a point they are not happy with. Because her right nasal passage is partially blocked, the doctors think it might have something to do with that...maybe she's not getting enough oxygen at all times. So they are planning on doing a CT scan on her nose/throat region sometime this week just to make sure there is nothing else wrong and to get a better understanding of her blocked nasal passage (is it bone that is blocking or is it membrane). They had been planning on doing this later on anyway, but now because of her desats they want to have it done sooner. They also want to make sure that her trachea is ok.

Thank you for continuing to pray. Lisa tells Brad that Mia uses her "big words" sometimes...ok, maybe she doesn't, but if she did, she would say thank you for remembering her in your prayers.
