13 pounds!

Sweet Pea!

Mommy and Daddy are so excited because you now weigh 13 pounds 1 ounce! We love that you keep getting bigger and stronger every day. You've been at therapy quite a bit this week and they always remark at how well your head control is! You still want to grab things with your right hand more than your left hand, but we continue to work with you on that.

And you still have a scab on your head that we are waiting for it to heal so that you can wear your helmet. It's a slow process, but one of these days you'll put on that helmet of yours!

We love you sweet pea!
Mommy and Daddy

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!
