We are on our way home from LA. Everything went great at our doctor visit and we now get to start stretching Mia. Her surgeon wants to ease her into it, so we will stay on the same size for about 2 weeks. If this is too much information, then just ignore, but the tool is a given diameter, we are starting at 7mm, and every time we go up, it will be by 1mm. The goal is to get her to about 13mm, and you usually go up 1mm each week, but he's taking it a bit slower with her. So, it should take us a couple of months to get there. You can actually feel her muscles working a bit when you insert the tool, so that is a good sign, pray that she learns how to control those muscles.

Yesterday at therapy, Mia pulled to stand all by herself 1 time! Praise God, how awesome is that. Her therapist was so impressed with how much improvement there was over the last 4 days. Keep praying for more leg strength. It's so neat to see her progress and how she keeps doing better and better.

I love the little tid-bits God GRACIOUSLY gives us (when we don't really deserve any) along the way in life as encouragement that He is working. We will praise Him with you for the improvements Mia is experiencing! Thanks for keeping us posted along YOUR journey!
