It was really nice to get away this weekend with the women in our church. It was even more wonderful to come home to my sweet family. And the best part was that they did great without me. I can't say I wasn't a little bit sad when I got home and the kids saw me and were like, oh hi mom...and then ran off to do their own thing, it was like I hadn't even went away. But that's a great thing.
After I got home on Sunday, Mia and I turned around and went to LA on Monday to see her neurologist. She's doing great and we are just going to maintain what we've been doing, a very minor dose of keppra and we'll just keep monitoring her.

ABC's
Calvin had his 18 month check up today. He's doing great, still on the skinny side of things, but nothing that our pediatrician is worried about...especially since Calvin is such an active kid. His ear infection is looking much better, but he now has some wheezing when he breaths, so we started some albuterol treatments until that clears up.
Calvin has clearly developed a love for the ABC's like his sister. He really had no choice though, since most everywhere you look in our house there are ABC's. On the fridge, on the wall, foam letters for the bath, puzzles, books...they are everywhere. He has started to since the Alphabet song and it is so adorable. He doesn't get everything right, but you can clearly hear the tune and the rhythm. The best part is watching him bebop his head and attempt to dance...but, unfortunately, he has taken up the dancing gene from his parents...and that isn't much. It's still really cute to watch.
Pray for Brad this weekend, he is going to be a single dad as I go away on a women's retreat with our church. This is my first leaving Calvin since he's been born. It's really hard for me to leave my babies...I know that the grandparents will be helping out and so that will make Mia super happy, I'm sure they'll have a great weekend.

Sick
We've been dealing with a sick child, Calvin has an ear infection, of which he started some antibiotics on Saturday, and he's just super congested...so that makes sleeping really really hard for him. Which makes sleeping really really hard for the mama. I don't know what it is, but when you are sick, you just want your mama. So, I've just felt overly needed these past few days, I will be so happy when he is better.
Mia has been doing great. She's been eating like a trooper, which is so great. On Saturday I weighed her and she's finally back to her highest point ever...so close to 28 pounds, but not quite there.
Brad's sister Rachel's family is in town for an extended stay. They have a 3 year old daughter, Joy, and the kids have been having a great time playing together. :)

An Update
We decided to do Mia's nose surgery in San Francisco at UCSF. We think it should be done at a major hospital with pediatric anesthesiologists. We were thinking of possibly redoing it at UCLA, however the doctor who did it before said she wouldn't do it without another CT of her head...that would be 4 CT's of Mia's head and she's only 4 years old, the doctor in San Francisco is ok with doing it without the CT scan. It is just so much radiation for her and we'd do it if it was medically necessary, but it doesn't appear to be necessary. So, the plan is for us to consult with the doctor the Monday before Easter and to then do the surgery the following Tuesday. We'll update you with more info as we get closer.
Mia's really been enjoying her water therapy. The therapist told us yesterday how she uses her left side and right side equally in the water, which is wonderful, so we are excited to see how this benefits her.
Please be praying for Mia, we found out that she might have the start of scoliosis. We are meeting with her orthopaedic surgeon in a few weeks to discuss the xray that shows some mild scoliosis. We are praying that it would resolve on its own...that she wouldn't need a brace, just so many things we'd rather not have her go through and we'd appreciate any prayers for her regarding this.
