Sweet Baby Girl,
Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you! You are doing so well! Your pneumonia is going away, the respiratory therapist said you sounded really good today and hopefully by tomorrow it will be gone. You've also been tracking a lot better and focusing on Mommy and Grandma a lot more, we are so encouraged by this. You still need to work on sucking though, you don't like having the pacifier in your mouth. They tried giving you a tiny bit of food in a bottle, but you didn't take it. We keep praying that you'll remember how to suck and feed. One good thing is that you've been putting your thumb in your mouth a lot, so even if you don't take a pacifier, we hope you'll start sucking on that thumb of yours...Mommy has never wanted you to suck on your thumb more! Last night Stacy gave you a CD of animal songs that are really fun and today we played that a lot and you loved having Mommy sing to you...you would stare at me and smile, you really liked the song about Goldilocks and the Three Bears...and the song about Monkeys jumping on the bed...Mommy would sing it to you and say, "No more Mia's jumping on the bed!" and you really liked that. Tomorrow they are going to lessen one of your anti-seizure medicines so we'll be praying that you don't need it and don't show signs of seizures (they told Mommy to look to see if you were less alert or sleeping a lot more, those would not be good things). And you still have oxygen in your nose, but they are working on getting rid of that also. We love you so much sweet baby girl, Mommy and Grandma will see you in the morning!
Love always,
Mommy and Daddy

Please pray for the following things...pray that Mia's pneumonia will be completely gone tomorrow, there was definitely marked improvement today and we are thankful.
Pray that she tolerates the lower dosage of seizure medicine and that sometime we would be able to completely take her off of that.
And please pray for another baby in the same room as Mia. Her name is Naomi (not the same Naomi from the NICU, a new Naomi). She is in need of a liver transplant and there is a possibility for her to get one tomorrow morning, so please pray that it goes well and that her body accepts it.
God has been so faithful and it is so neat to see Him working right before our eyes. We serve an awesome and powerful God, thank you for continuing to be faithful and pray for Mia and these other babies!!!!

Hey Mommy,
Where's a picture of the little miss?? We are going through withdrawal . . . : ) Wow. Talk about being still and knowing that He is God.
Glad to hear about these improvements. Praying for a good day today, too. :)
Love,
Aunt Rachel
P.S. I love the latest picture. Very sweet!!
I love the picture with her little "pigs" hanging out of the blanket!! CUTE! I've been passing your requests on to the Olive Knolls Church Prayer Warriors and some of them have visited your blog. Everyone always asks me about Mia! You are all being prayed for!
