Sick

Well, both my girls are sick with a cold.  I guess better that it happens now.  Mia's surgery is 5 weeks from today.  That should be enough time to get over a cold, right?  Hopefully we just don't keep passing it back and forth to each other.  In about 2 weeks we're going to start being extra careful about germs.  Fun.  I feel like we've reached the start of the countdown to surgery day.  I've even counted.  It's 34 days from today.  I've started making my lists of what we need to bring where.  It's upon us.

Yesterday Mia had her final cardiology appointment before surgery.  Thankfully, they were able to get a full echo.  Apparently it's hospital policy that they have to have a good echo within 3 months of surgery.  Aside from yesterday, her last successful one was in April.  If they hadn't gotten it yesterday, they were talking a sedated echo before surgery, I'm so glad we don't have to do that.  Everything on the echo yesterday looked good.  Our cardiologist even referred to her heart function as "normal."  That amazes me.  Mia amazes me.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, she is our miracle.  I love her more than words can express.  With the last appointment and echo behind us, now we simply need to stay away from sick people (HA, I'm not sure that's even possible!) and get well!
