Mia Update

So I don't have any fun pictures to post this time because life with a sick baby is a little crazy but figured I would update how she's doing. Yesterday she had her tests. They did an ultra sound of her kidneys and bladder and then did what is called a VCUG. Basically they strap her to a board (it was rather barbaric and very sad to watch) drain her bladder with a catheter and then put dye through the catheter and take a bunch of x-rays as the dye moves through. She was a real trooper for the whole thing. Luckily she was hungry and spent most of the time just sucking down her bottle but she still had her screaming moments. I know she's had it with being picked on and I definitely have too. Her VCUG came back complete normal. We got the results of the ultra sound a day later because they wanted to have the kidney docs at Primary Children's look at it because one of her kidneys is slightly dilated. They are thinking it's just a normal variation so unless she has more problems they aren't going to worry about it. The bad news is her urine wasn't completely clean. They don't know if it's from the previous infection or a new one so they started her on a new antibiotic for at least 48 hours until the final result comes back. The new antibiotic is making her miserable (at least I hope that's what it is so once she's done with it she'll be back to her normal self). Poor girl just has melt downs and screams a few hours after getting it. So sad.

On a positive note, we finally got our court date to finalize Mia's adoption. We go to court March 28 and then we will have her sealed to us April 9 and her blessing April 10. We are so excited to finalize everything and be able to take her to the temple. It will be a very good couple of weeks. :-)
