Check up

It has been some time since I've posted but even longer since we have been to the Dr. More than three years have passed since Mia's last surgery. Today we are meeting the Dr's for a check up. The roof of her mouth is the main reason we came. Over the past few weeks she has said it hurts when she eats from time to time. At this point the doctors are saying her mouth looks OK and to setup another check up in 6 months.

Mia's forehead and check are showing signs of fluid and swelling. They would like to do another round of injections to help keep the swelling down. They are going to call us this week to schedule the surgery.

Where has the time gone....

I can't believe it's been a few years since I've updated this blog. Thankfully everything has been pretty uneventful for Mia. She will be starting 3rd grade on Monday and is pretty excited about it.

I'm going to try to update this more often now that I have the blogger app on my phone. That should help me be more active on here...I hope.

Summer time

Mia has been having a very nice summer.... basically she has turned into a fish. So far her forehead has only bothered her once but after a good nights sleep, she was better in the morning. Thankfully it has been a busy yet uneventfull summer since her surgery. We would like to thank our everyone who has stopped by to drop something off, or just to see Mia for a few minutes to all the mail she has received. It really means alot to us and touchs our hearts that so many of you love our little princess Mia so much.

Post op - Day 3

Mia has been doing very well after a much deserved relaxing weekend. She has been very busy making necklaces and braclets for us & her kitty. Last nite she took off her bandage and her forehead looked good. It was still swollen from the injections but you couldn't tell were the injections were located. Mia was so excited that she pulled it off and it didn't hurt at all.

Home

It has been a long day for our little princess Mia. She is so amazing. From waking up very early this morning to having a plan for the anesthia to recovery. Every step of the way Mia has been strong and positive. We are finally home were she can rest & relax for the weekend. She should be getting her bandaid off her forehead Sunday night. We will see then how it is heeling. After that it will be a few months before we meet back with the doctors so that can see any changes via an ultrasound. Until then, Mia can enjoy some of her favorite summer activities like swimming, playing outside on the swing set and riding her bike.

We love you princess!!
