Thursday

What a wonderful day for Mia! We found out today that she does not have a bone infection! As a result, they have taken her off of her antibiotics. The ear, nose, and throat specialists reviewed her CT scan and found the blockage in her right nasal passage to be mostly bone matter, but are in no hurry to fix it. There were no other concerns from them regarding her CT scan. She is also almost to her goal feedings, she is now at 44 cc's every 3 hours...her goal is 48 cc's every 3 hours. She tried bottle feeding today and was able to suck down 10 cc's before she got too tired, so the plan is to keep on working with her at that so she is able to feed completely by bottle at some point.

Right now the only other possible concern the doctors have with her is her kidneys. When she was born they did an ultrasound on her kidneys and observed an excess of fluid, so they are planning a follow-up ultrasound to see if she is still retaining excess fluid. That should happen in a day or so.

Thank you again for praying, all the nurses and doctors are impressed with how well she is doing! We know it is a testament to God's power at work in her. By the way, this picture is from last Saturday. Mia no longer has the IV in her left hand, just in case you were wondering.
