Regional Center

Today our county regional center came out to evaluate Mia to see if she qualifies for any special services. The visit was so encouraging. The group that came out (3 people) told me that they would not have known that Mia had a stroke in her last surgery if I hadn't told them. They were so impressed with how well she is doing considering everything she has been through. So they evaluated her developmentally and put her at about 4-5 months developmentally (she's almost 8 months now) and they weren't shocked that she was there because she's spent so much time in the hospital already. They agreed that she qualified for services and we'll be having someone come to our home once a week to work with her on the developmental skills she is missing...like sitting up and rolling over and walking, etc. But they were just so impressed with how much she is doing and they kept telling me that...it was very encouraging to hear that from someone with an unbiased opinion. And they thought that she understands what she sees because she is reaching for and grabbing objects. And they know she understands what she hears because when we say things like, "I'm kissing you..." she'll break out into a huge grin. That was real encouraging to hear also. We just know that God has done an amazing miracle in her life and we are so grateful and thankful. Thank you God!!!!!
