Dearest Mia,

Daddy and I love you so much. And yet, God loves you so much more than that. Last week Saturday was a very hard day for us, but each day gets better as God continues to do an amazing work in your life. We are encouraged by little things each day. We know God has a perfect plan for your life and we still continue to pray for complete healing, but regardless of the final outcome we know that God is faithful. And we want to continue to praise Him and give Him all the glory.

Today you had some visitors. Greg and Joy and Doug and Holly. They all thought that you looked so good! You were falling fast asleep at one point and Greg tried to let go of your hand, but you had such a tight grip and you wouldn't let him. We think you may have gotten stronger since you've had the breathing tube. In fact, you keep trying to take it out (which may happen tomorrow morning...we'll be praying that it does baby girl!) and at one point I was holding your right hand and Joy was holding your left hand and I saw your the tape on your tube start to stretch and I said, "oh no"and the nurse came over and you were using your foot to try to get your tube out! There is tubing that goes quite aways down from your mouth and you were pushing your foot against it in hopes of getting that tube out.

Today someone came by and hung a mobile up for your to look at and you really enjoyed that along with the shapes from last night. When Doug and Holly got there they were so impressed with how you were looking at everything. We keep praying that you'll understand what you see...but it sure seems to look like you can see things, which is very encouraging.

Later when Daddy and Greg were in with you Daddy got you to smile! He said some things that he used to say at home and you gave him a couple of smiles...which was so neat!

Baby girl, we are praying that the stuff in your lungs (a mild case of pneumonia) would be healed and that you would get your breathing tube out and that God would completely heal you.

We love you Sweet Pea!
Mommy and Daddy
