Snooky Great

Saturday, April 11, 2009

Mia is doing really well, the doctors looked at her this morning and are pleased with how everything looks. No infections, thank you God! She hasn't had any pain medicine since last night, she's been in real good spirits. There is talk of sending us home today, the only concern is that she is slightly constipated, so pray that things would start flowing, we've tried yogurt and she just got some prune juice, we are waiting for some medicine to help, but I'm praying things will get going on their own. Pray for wisdom regarding the best time to come home, we know home is better, but we want to be sure she's ready.

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!
