So far Mia is doing well, the doctors looked at her wound this morning and are ok with how it looks. Pray for continued healing, the nurse last night told us he wants her more upright today and that will help make sure nothing settles into her lungs that we don't want. I'm not sure how that's going to work, so pray for us in that area today. Pray also that she wouldn't need too much pain medicine, at the moment she's only had some Tylenol with Codeine this morning, so that is very good. I'm always awestruck at how differently babies handle pain. We continue to be grateful for your prayers. We want to always remember to give God the glory!

I forgot to mention yesterday, the surgeon told us that her intestine was connected down very low and that is great news because it means the chances of her controlling her bowels is very high! Praise God!

She is out and everything went great!

Mia is recovering and we have seen her! Everything went really well and we want to say thank you for praying!! We'll be home on Sunday or Monday! Love, Brad, Lisa and especially Mia.

What you can be praying for in the next few days is that she doesn't get an infection and that she heals quickly.
We just got another update, Mia is doing well, they have at least another hour and a half to go. Please continue to pray for Dr Shew and the surgical team. Pray for sharpness of skill and alertness as they've been in there for awhile.
We just heard from the ER that they are just starting surgery now. Thank you for continuing to pray.

IV's are in

They just called us in the waiting room, the IV's are in and she has been intubated (breathing tube). Things are going well!
