Mommy's Day

Sweet Baby Girl,

God gave me a beautiful gift for Mommy's day. He gave me you. And on top of that, you got your breathing tube out today! It was such a happy moment for daddy and I. You are still getting a little bit of oxygen through your nose, but they will slowly wean you off of that also. You still have stuff in your lungs also, but that is getting better and not having the tube down there will help also.

You had lots of visitors again today. One of them is a dear friend of George and Lory's who we met for the first time last night. Her name is Wei and she heard about you and has been praying for you and was excited to come and see you. It is so neat how the body of believers works, your daddy and I continue to be humbled by how many people are praying for you.

Grampa Flash and Nana and Grandma Cheri also came to see you. And then Greg and Joy happened to be in town again and they stopped by to see you also. You had quite a busy day! Daddy and I got to hold you a lot today and it was so much easier without the breathing tube. We're just so thankful for how well you are doing. We know that God can heal you and we continue to pray for that!

They tried to feed you out of a bottle today, but you didn't like that. They told us it is not uncommon because you had a tube in you for so long...not to mention you don't want anything in your mouth because it was uncomfortable when the tube was in there. So we'll continue to work with you on that and pray that you'll quickly get readjusted to feeding from a bottle.

We love you baby girl and can't wait to get you home!

Mommy and Daddy

We pray that the Lord will keep your hearts strengthened and encouraged. We know you both feel so fortunate and blessed to have Mia in your life--and that is true. But Mia is also blessed to have such a loving, godly mother like you, Lisa and a loving, godly father like you, Brad.
We love you all so much and continue to hold you in our hearts and in our prayers!

Mia's Story

Mia was born October 12th, 2007. Lisa's water broke early at 34 weeks and she was in the hospital for 2 weeks because she didn't go into labor. During that time, they noticed a blocked intestine in Mia and determined that she should be delivered down at UCLA. So, at 36 weeks, Mia was delivered via C-section (because she was breech). We know that was a God thing because after she was born we found out her heart had not completed closing off the four chambers (an AV Canal) and a stressful delivery might not have been best for her. We also found out she didn't have an anal opening and her right nostril was blocked. Months later we would find out her skull had fused early. All of these things required surgeries. On May 1st, 2008, Mia had surgery on her skull and suffered a stroke during it. The doctors told us she would only "eat, breath, smile and laugh". People from all over had already been praying for Mia, but so many more joined in and she is truly a miracle because she continues to progress far beyond what anyone would have imagined. This is our blog to document that journey of our little girl, thank you for praying and we hope it will encourage you as much as it encourages us. God is good, all the time!
