Salsa

Mommy, I wish you wouldn't take so many pictures of me...

Dancing to the music of my very cool table!

So I made Mia eggs this morning with salsa, and she ate half an egg! Go figure! Usually when I give her eggs, she'll just hold the bite in her mouth forever, but she munched it right up, no problem. So, maybe this spicy thing is really going to work for her, which would be such an answer to prayer, I'm excited already, praise God!!!

And I weighed her and we are back to 21 pounds 3 ounces, which is great. I do feel like we are moving in the right direction, we'll keep on working on getting more calories in and praising God as she does gain weight.

Her favorite dips: Ranch, salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and apple sauce :) Also, if you are looking for spicy things...Target has pepperjack cheese squares that are perfect for little hands that she loves and Mia might like too :) Have fun with the experimenting and so happy that she is gaining weight again!; 7:47 AM

Becca really likes her eggs with salsa rolled up in a tortilla slathered with butter. It makes her feel big.; 12:10 PM

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!
