Snooky Great

Today Mia had a visitor all the way from London, England! My dear friend Rachel from college was in LA and made a special trip up to Bakoland to see me and of course Mia! We had a great time catching up. It was a really nice day for us.

Tomorrow Mia will get her blood drawn to make sure all of her levels are ok for her next surgery, April 9th. We will be seeing Mike, who did a phenomenal job last time with her. Pray that he would again be able to draw her blood easily and quickly.

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!
