Mia is becoming a great little eater! She is now consuming 20 cc's every 3 hours and we found out today that the goal for her is 48 cc's every 3 hours, so she is almost halfway there.
Mia's PICC line also works. Now she doesn't need IV's so she won't be poked as much anymore...thank you God!
She also got her CT scan today. This is what the ear, nose and throat specialists want to make sure the only thing wrong is her partially blocked nasal passage. We should hear back tomorrow on the results of that and hopefully know more of what they want to do to fix her nasal passage.
She is officially on the books for her bone scan tomorrow morning. They'll run some type of fluid through her body between 8am and 10am and then several hours later they'll do the scan. If she has an infection, the fluid will bind to it and show up on the scan. Now I am sure these are not the technical words for it, but that is the picture I've received on how it works.
She also had an echocardiogram today. They do these occasionally to see how her heart is doing and hers looked fine.
In addition, the swelling in her left arm has gone down substantially. Because she had been through so much they asked one of the nurses trained in "baby massage" to give her one. And it was really cute to see her relax as the girl massaged her arms and legs. She was asleep after...it didn't take very long!
All in all we have much to be thankful for today. We can't say it enough...Praise God!
