Snooky Great

Wednesday, June 04, 2008

Sweetheart,

Yesterday Mommy took you to see your pediatrician and you weighed 12 pounds 5 ounces! You are getting so big! She thought you looked great and said she wouldn't have known you had a stroke unless Mommy had told her.

Yesterday afternoon you started having dark urine in your diaper, the same stuff that came before all your other urinary tract infections, so today Mommy is taking you back to the pediatrician so they can collect a urine sample and send it off to the lab. Mommy doesn't know why this is happening...she doesn't want you to have another UTI.

Yesterday Mommy also tried you on peas again and you seemed to do ok with those. Each day we keep giving you just a little bit so you get used to having a different kind of food in your mouth.

We love you all of it sweetheart!
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!
