Whew... I am tired. I think we have been running off of adrenaline and it has finally crashed! But God is continuing to provide us strength.
Today was a bit tougher. She is starting to have more periods of awake times and therefore a lot of grumpiness and irritability. It's a good thing... Just more work for mom and dad. Her swelling was pretty rough today. She did get vision finally out of the left eye and that helped a lot. Marnie brought Maddie to visit her today. Maddie's words: "this doesn't look like our baby... She looks like chubby Mia. But I still love her". Maddie actually crawled in bed with her and they "played" for a while.
There were several times today that she woke up and played. She rattled her toy, played with her feet and even clapped to "if you're happy and you know it". I posted a link below to watch her in action.
Papa (my dad) left today to head back to Mississippi. It will feel a bit weird going to the hospital tomorrow without him. He has been at the hospital every second that we have and his presence will surely be missed.
A little later tonight Gramps and Nana came to watch Mia while Aunt Laurie and Uncle Chip took Drew and I out to eat. What a wonderful time we had... I felt so refreshed after getting out for an hour!
Both Drew and I got to hold our sweet girl tonight and I forgot how good that felt. She obviously loved it too, because she sunk deep into arms and rested comfortably the whole time.
Our main prayer request right now is to have an increase in her appetite. It's pretty poor right now. That has to improve if she's going to break out of hospital jail. She is going pee pee perfectly now, but we got to get our appetite up! Please pray for this to improve!
