Mia - Day 14 - 2 week Mark - GOING HOME!!!

PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!! WAHOOOO!!!! *jumping, dancing, whooping and hollering and singing inserted here*!!!

We have met our two week mark and we are GOING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got the happy news about an hour ago and we are all beyond THRILLED!!

They are waiting still on lots of labs at the state department of disease control (CDC), but she has some more information and is changing her antibiotics and sending her home instead of making us wait any longer!

Mia has her picc line in (port) and will receive IV antibiotics at home every 6 hours (a home health nurse will teach us and over see this) and will also have blood work done every Friday. We will continue to see Dr. Atkins (infectious disease specialist) every week and 2 weeks from now she will have another CT Scan to check the progress of the abscesses and make sure they are indeed shrinking. Mia will also be on oral antibiotics. (none of this will thrill her, but it will be awesome because we will all be HOME TOGETHER!!)

Again, thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for all the outpouring of love, prayers, gifts, help, meals, laundry, packing, unpacking, the list really goes on and on!

We love you all!

Now – once we get home to the rental, I will be completely out of commission on email because we haven’t had time to get out phone, internet or tv hooked up… so if you need me – just call my cell! (210-687-6783). I have been keeping record of every email and prayer written and plan to put them all in a book along with all the pictures and cards and other mementos for her some day. She will see just HOW much she was loved! Oh she is loved and so are we! Thank you thank you!!

Love and blessings 10 fold to you all!
Julie and Phil and the PRINCESS MIA ANABEL!!
