As most of you know by now Mia was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday night for an unknown infection. We have now learned the infection is Group B Strep or GBS. This infection can be fatal in infants if not caught early. We were so lucky that we caught it VERY early and she was put on antibiotics the same day the infection was caught. She is now being treated with 2 antibiotics. One every 6 hours and the other every 8 hours. The doctor says that she will need to be here for 10-14 days. More than likely it will be 14 days to make sure we get all the bacteria so she doesn't chance coming down with this again.
The staff here at the hospital has been wonderful. We love Nurse Rob and Nurse Lori and Nurse tech Kristen. They have all treated our baby like she is a part of their family. They have also been very good to us. Of course as first time parents we have been a mess and asked a million questions. We even love the doctor that is treating her. He takes his time with us and never makes us feel like we are bothering him or that we are asking stupid questions.
Here are a few pictures we have taken during our stay in the hospital. I'm sure there will be many more to come as she will be here for about 11 more days. All your calls and prayers are greatly appreciated.

Oh Bran! So sorry y'all are having to go through this but so grateful that the diagnosis is good. I've been praying for all of you!
Nicki referred me to your blog. Just wanted to let you know we are praying for Mia.
Nicki sent me to your blog. I'm a first time parent too and I know exactly what you're talking about as far as having lots of questions. Your little girl is so cute. Just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers!
Hi...Little Mia is just precious. Just wanted you to know I'm praying for a quick recovery! I know this must be really scary, but always remember God is still in control. (I read Nicki's blog and found you through her.)
Came over from Nikkis blog. Praying for your little one. Wondering what symptoms she had. Hope she is home well soon.
I've had several people tell me that tried to leave you a comment but your blog isn't set up for anonymous comments and they don't have blogger accounts. So, consider yourself prayed for by even more people.
