Getting better, one day at a time

Mia is definately improving everyday. So far she's only said that her cheek has been hurting a couple of times, but when she says it hurts you can tell. Those big tears in her eyes just breaks our hearts. We saw the dr who did her surgery Tuesday last week. He was very pleased at how well Mia was doing. He said that Mia's cheek is still pretty swollen and will continue to decrease over time. Our next appointment is in 2 months so good news all around. We then saw Mia's eye doctor on Thursday. Once again, good news that her vision is impoving. Now that her cheek is smaller and not such an obstruction to her field of vision, she is able to wear her glasses again and have a larger area for her eye to see. Two more months and we will visit him again too. Meanwhile, Mia has been enjoying life between playing with Addison and making cookies with mommy, she is so bubbly. Mia was so excited over the weekend to see all the snow we got. Unfortuantly it was so cold out that she was able to play outside to long. Hopefully it will warm up into the teens so we can play. Not only that, but Santa is only a few days away from his visit. Mia is so excited this year for Santa. For those of you that saw her reaction to Santa at the benefit, she had an ear to ear smile and was jumping up and down. Thats a huge 180° from the years past, you couldn't get her within 15' of him. And of course, everything she see's on TV or in the store is "Thats what I really want for Christmas!".
