Road to recovery

Mia did pretty good last nite. She was getting cold from all the Popsicle's and ice cream so I put a few blankets to keep her warm. Mia fell asleep around 9 last nite and only got up this morning to take her medicine around 5, which didn't go to well. Apparently it doesn't taste the best, but if you mix a little strawberry quik, that helps out alot. After that she sleep till 8 this morning when her little sister woke her up. Mia did have a tough morning with her stomach not feeling well to eat anything so she wasn't able to take more medicine. Alittle cheesy mash potatoes and mac-n-cheese later, Mia's stomach was in much better shape for her much needed medicine.

We're home

After a long nite we are home. Mia took alittle nap on the way home followed by a nice warm bath. Which requires Popsicles and cottage cheese once she got all settled. So far Mia is feeling ok and keeping everything down. Hopefully nonite will be much better than last nite.

Good morning Sunshine

Well it's morning... and there was not much sleep for us throughout the nite. Oh well sleep is overrated anyway! Well Mia had 2 bladder scans last night and finally went pee at about 2:30 thank goodness it had been almost 12 hours and they were talking catheter ouch. We did have a long night with trying to get her to go and her not being able to keep anything down. She threw up everything she drank poor little baby. So far this morning is going better she was able to keep down some grape juice and a few bites of orange jello. We even went for a walk in the hall and you know Mia, she had to push her own IV pole. She just had some pain medication, got her IV out, put on her own PJ's and is sitting in the recliner watching cartoons. Daddy is in the pharmacy down stairs getting Mia's medications and just brought me a yummy iced coffee thank goodness for coffee and Daddy. Daddy also went to the playroom where Mia was before surgery yesterday because we forgot bunny (the bunny from Dan, Jodi and Taylor before Mia's last surgery. It is the toy Mia choose to bring along), there in the baby bed thank goodness bunny was still there and had a good nights sleep in the baby bed .We should be heading home shortly hopefully our princess does well in the car. We will post again later. Thanks again for all of the love and support you all give to us !!!!

Sleeping beauty

Mia has been sleeping very well for the past few hours. The nurse just came for a check up & gave her some pain meds. The only things she needs to do is keep somthing down after she eats and then go potty. Sleep tight princess.

In Mias Hospital room

Well it's been a long day but we finally made it to the room . What a room it is very nice they have added a new wing here at Children's hospital and this room is like a hotel room compared to the PICU rooms we are used to . It has its own bathroom BONUS for all, very open spacious and room for guests it even has a very nice window view. The room has 2 flat screen TV's, rocking chair and a couch that turns into a bed . I would have to say the best amenity is the PS3!!! I knew I should have brought Rock Band with us.

Mia has been doing very well. Before we took her down pre-opt, they give Mia some Versaid (to relax and be calm before surgery) but she only ended up taking about 1/3 of the dose because it tastes bitter. Which actually turned out to be good because she wasn't the monster that she is when she has come out of surgery as she has been before. She was in a little pain right after she got into recovery so they gave her a little bit of morphine. After we got into the room, Mia wanted to try to go potty but she ended up throwing up. I'm surprised she was able to keep it down that long, since she hasn't ate anything after 8:30 last nite. Right now she is resting comfortably. We will try to update this again later, until then here is a photo of Mia getting some much needed rest.

All is well

We just talked to the dr and he said everything went fine. Mia will be going into recovery soon so I will be able to see her.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Mia is doing very well and has been quite busy the past few months. Between making cookies with Noah & Addison and sleding with Addison, she is a pretty active little girl. Mia has also been enjoying her dance lessons at Steps to Grace Dance Academy. She took ballet, tap and tumbling last session and will be starting her next session soon.

We were hoping to get her 3rd surgery done before 2009 ended but that didn't work out. She is scheduled to have her next surgery Monday, January 11th. The dr will be removing her tonsils & adnoids as well as repairing gums from the first surgery. When they cut between her teeth and lip, the dr was hoping that the flap would absorb into the Mia's gums. Since then it has been bothering Mia and she would have to hold it up sometimes when she brushes her teeth. Mia is pretty excited about this surgery so far, she will get to be on the ice cream, popsicle & jello diet. We will be heading up the night before to be at the hospital early.
