Ups & Downs

I don't know why I have such a hard time letting go of the eating thing, but it truly is a daily, even meal to meal thing that I have to do. And today we had a really bad day eating, we threw up our lunch and our dinner. I wasn't surprised at lunch because we were trying some new things, but dinner was one of her favorite meals so it really hit me hard. And I know she can't help it, but I just feel for her and wish she didn't do it so much. So, just pray for me and for her, maybe we need to go see a doctor about it...I just have no clue at this point. I just feel so much pressure as the Mommy to make sure her nutrition is right and she's getting all the calories she needs. And that is what I need to give over to God all the time, so just pray for me, today has been really hard for me.

I will pray for you about this everytime we eat. I will have Becca and Timmy pray too, because they understand about eating and calories. I know exactly how you feel on this issue.

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!
