Pictures and More Pictures

Mia at swim therapy with Ms. Kristi. We just found out today that she is leaving as her husband's job has switched locations. We are sad and we'll miss her! She has a very neat relationship with Mia.

Do I fit mama?

At Lisa's brother's house. Their daughter's pig. Calvin and the dog are checking out the pigs.

MARE!

At Lisa's friend Amy's father's house. Is that too many possessives? He has some land outside of town and has cherry trees, so each spring there is a cherry festival. The kids really enjoyed themselves and Mia asks if we can go back all the time. Calvin and Amy's daughter Grace. So much fun!

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!
