Well its been one week since Mia's surgery. She is doing pretty well and her swelling has gone done enough so her smile is really starting to show. For the most part, Mia has bounced back and enjoy's playing with her dolls, working on her puzzles, putting a build-a-bear together and taking an occasional nap. I would have to say the hardest thing was Saturday night. We woke up to her wimpering and when I pulled her covers off of her face, there was puke everywhere. Thank god that we have her sleeping in our room, otherwise I don't know what would have happend to her. I'm so gratefull for Brandy because I am worthless when it comes to puke patrol. We are not sure why she got sick but we think it might have had something to do with the drainage running down her throat. Mia was up about 4 times that night and then she didn't eat at all on Sunday. This morning she finally started eating this morning but once she finished there was blood on her lips. Mia has a checkup next Tuesday with the doctors who did the surgery and then Thursday is a check up with her eye doctor. She still has a long way to go but is doing better every day. Her spirit really shines thru!!
WOW!! what a difference from a week ago. Her eye looks wide awake that is so good to see. I bet she cant wait for Santa! I know Alayna and Trevor can't. We need to get over and see you guys sometime soon, maybe we can get together and have hot chocolate (w/marshmellows of course) with the kids and play a game. Please let us know how her appointment goes. I always look forward to updates on how she is doing, there isn's a day that goes by that I am not thinking about Mia. Have a great day guys!!

She is looking better all the time. Hate that she was sick tho, poor thing has already been thru too much. Her eye looks so much brighter too. Thanks for the Christmas picture. You all look so good. Tell Noah we will see him soon.
