The Baby Jesus

I haven't been blogging as much because I've been trying to get all our Christmas stuff up so we can enjoy it before Christmas gets here. Last year we didn't put anything up because we didn't come home from the hospital until December 20th...so this year, Brad put the tree up on the Monday we were home from the hospital. This is Mia's first Christmas Tree...she really liked the lights. Then I started going through all the Christmas stuff and she really enjoyed looked at the trees and Santas. Well, when I unpacked the nativity I was showing Mia all of the different characters/animals...and she wasn't super interested, until I showed her the baby Jesus and she immediately grabbed it and took it...we thought that was neat, maybe she knows!

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!
