Mia in the hospital Part 3

Today is day 9 of Mia's hospital stay. She has received her last dose of one of her antibiotics this afternoon. She still has 11 doses of her other antibiotic to go. She should receive the last dose on Sunday morning at 8am. Hopefully once she receives the last does we can take her home the same day. She is doing really well. On Tuesday morning they had to take her IV out of her hand because it was finally leaking. A normal IV only lasts about 3 days on average. We were lucky hers lasted 6 days. She still needed an IV so they inserted what is called a PIC line. It goes from her leg up into the main vein in her chest in a direct line. This sounds awful and it is I cried about it but I've cried about everything so far. The PIC line has been a blessing because now she gets her medicine and they can take blood from the line with out having to stick her anymore. All of her blood cultures are now coming back negative and her test results are all falling in the normal range. Thank goodness. It looks like Mia has beat this scary infection and she will never remember any of it. We have documented it in pictures so one day she can see just how scared we were for her. I'll post more of the pictures once I can get them uploaded to my computer. For now we are very blessed that our baby girl is doing so well.

I heard someone say this the other day and it rang very true with me.

God is not only good at times like this, God is good all the time!

When we got pregnant with Jonah after all of our struggles, people would say "God is good!" We tried to always (kindly) respond by saying God was still good when we weren't pregnant. His goodness is not determined by our circumstances. HE IS GOOD! Great point...thanks for reminding me! Love y'all!
