Thankful


God has truly blessed us today and taken such good care of Mia, we are very thankful. She continues to do really well and her swelling is still very minimal! She's not out of the woods on that though as she'll continue to swell for another day and a half, so please keep praying for that.


She had a CT scan this morning and it came back normal. And she continues to kick her left leg and we've seen her move her left arm when the tubing isn't on top of it. Again, we are thankful.


We got the results back from her kidney ultrasound and it looks like she has a kidney infection, which is why she got her bladder infection again, so they are working on treating that. The good news is that they should be able to treat it with antibiotics and she shouldn't have anymore problems with it after, so there doesn't appear to be any permanent damage...thank you God! Please pray for continued wisdom of the doctors and healing of her kidney. She also has a kidney stone, but we need to get further information from the doctors on whether or not anything needs to be done with that.


She did get a slight fever today and they gave her some tylenol for that, but they weren't surprised considering everything she's been through. Right now they are just letting her body heal naturally and watching her temperature to make sure it doesn't go too high. She also did get one dose of pain management, but she hasn't appeared to be in very much pain at all. Once again we are thankful.


Her next big hurdle tomorrow is to get rid of her breathing tube, so pray that it goes smoothly and she's able to breathe just fine on her own...we aren't anticipating any problems, but one can't pray too much!


As you can see a lot has happened today and we are just so thankful with how well she's doing, God is so good!
