We're back home from our trip to LA today. We got up bright and early to make it there by 9am...we left here at 6:15am! Mia slept most of the way and traffic wasn't too too bad...we ended up getting there right on time.
Our first appointment was with the doctor doing her cranial surgery. He went over the whole process again and even though we are nervous, we know that this is what she needs. Anytime you do surgery close to the brain there's always a chance of damage...and also with her eyes...so our prayer is that there would be no damage with her surgery.
We left there and went downstairs to the lab where Mia got poked one more time and Lisa got poked. Brad went over to admissions while Lisa was waiting to get poked and did some pre-admissions stuff. The good news is that we might not need to be at the hospital at 5:30am since we turned in our admissions stuff early...we'll find out the day before what time we really need to arrive.
After that we walked into Westwood (an area with shops and restaurants next to the hospital) and had lunch at our favorite restaurant (The Corner Bakery)...Lisa needed to eat well because after that we were going to get her blood drawn. So, we headed over to the blood bank and they checked us in and got everything ready to go...and then they poked Lisa again. She was very happy it was her and not Mia. :)
So after they got her blood, we took the shuttle back to the hospital and got ready to go. We were leaving LA at about 3pm, which was perfect for avoiding traffic. So it looks like everything is set for her surgery next week and now it's just a matter of waiting. Thank you for praying so far in advance for everything, it means so much to us! We are grateful that so many of you pray for our little girl, she's going to have quite a story to share some day!
