A Good Report! (October 4th, 2007)

GOOD NEWS!
After over 2 hours of waiting… the dr. spoke with us and told us that Mia’s CT Scan showed that she has REALLY IMPROVED!!!!!!!!
Meaning – the meds are working, no more surgeries!
She is waiting a few more days to hear from the CDC in Tyler, TX, but after that she thinks she will remove the PICC line and switch her to some strong oral antibiotics!

Mia REALLY broke down today when she found out we were going to the hospital. She started crying big heavy tears that dripped onto my leg as I carried her out the door, it was heartbreaking.
BUT! As her daddy, she and I were walking towards the door of the hospital on our way OUT she stopped in her tracks and said “Huh?! Are we going HOME?!” and we said “YES!”
She gasped with excitement and jumped into my arms for the biggest hardest hug ever and she had the most enormous smile on her face with her eyes squeezed shut. It was a HUGE moment of celebrating for the three of us, right there in the middle of a busy hospital lobby. What celebrating there is to be done!

God is so good and so faithful to heal our sweet baby girl and we are so thrilled, we have all 5 been laughing, and dancing and singing our hearts out all night. THANK YOU LORD! And thank you FAMILY AND FRIENDS for your prayers and encouragement!

What a sigh of relief we are all breathing tonight… next step, no more IV… but we are almost there!

Praising God and loving my family,
Julie
