Haircuts and More!

Yesterday Calvin got his first haircut! Mia got a haircut too! I've been wanting to cut her hair for awhile now and so we had Brad's hairdresser come over to the house and cut both of the kids hair. Neither of them really liked it. But they look even cuter now!

Today we went to LA for our 4th opinion on Mia's eyes. This doctor came recommended by a friend and also by our optometrist. He told us he is very conservative when it comes to surgery and in cases like Mia, he prefers to wait until after they are 5 to do anything, if at all. So, in the meantime, he suggested a stronger pair of glasses to help bring the eyes together and also to try some more patching. Hopefully between all of this and the vision therapy we are going to start, maybe we won't need to do surgery for awhile or even at all. We have one more opinion to see, but it's looking more and more like we will be holding off and not rushing into surgery. Praise God for wisdom!

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!
