Prayer is Powerful

Mia is doing great. We were concerned about her left side, but not anymore. She's been kicking her left leg like crazy and she's been moving her left hand a bit. They think she isn't moving her left arm because the tubing from her ventilator is lying on it and her central line is in her left shoulder area and they think it's just uncomfortable to move it.

Her swelling is so minimal at this point which is great. They said she could still swell more by tomorrow or the next day, but keep praying because it's working! And they just gave her some pain medicine...she hadn't needed any since last night, which is amazing...but they just gave her a little bit now because her pulse was a bit higher and her pupils a bit dilated (that's how they know if babies are in pain...they check those things...).

Anyway, she's doing great, she's resting and we're waiting to hear back from her kidney ultrasound to see if there is anything going on there.
