Mia has been doing great...she just keeps rolling around and going on her tummy which is such good news!

Yesterday we saw the neurologist for the first time since being in the hospital. He thought that Mia looked really well. He was very pleased with her progress. In fact, he doesn't want to see her for another 6 months, which is great...we'll keep her on the same dosage of medicine because it is working and then reevaluate things in 6 months. He also doesn't want to do an MRI because they'd have to sedate her for it and he doesn't think it necessary at this point, but maybe later on down the road we'll do that.

Today Mia saw her teacher Miss Carmen for the first time since July. Miss Carmen was so impressed with how much improvement she's made in the last 6 weeks. We played and sang songs and then Mia got to finger paint a school bus...she didn't like it too much and started crying at the end, one day she'll like it better. :)

Mia also got weighed today and she is 14 pounds 3 ounces.

Yesterday we also went to feeding therapy and her therapist was so pleased with the progress in that area also. She now wants us to work at feeding her twice a day and trying to increase the amount she gets. Tonight she ate squash and finished 1/2 of the stage 1 container, which is about 1 1/4 ounces. We thought that was good progress!
