Snooky Great

Tuesday, November 25, 2008

We just talked to the OR nurse, they placed the arterial line at 8:30 and they just started her surgery at 9:45. Pray for her surgeon, that everything would go smoothly, pray that her body would tolerate the blood products, and pray for her time on the bypass machine that she would be on and off it quickly.

Please also keep Matthew Lawrence in your prayers, another kid from LBC. He had surgery a few weeks ago and there were complications. We just saw his mom and they might need to do another surgery, but don't want to so soon after his last. He is 5 and has intestinal problems.

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!
