Miss Mia

Mia got these cute pink converse shoes from my niece and insisted on putting them on right when I got them out of the bag. I thought the outfit looked cuter with the navy blue mary janes, but I guess not :) She did not want her picture taken, though and made that obvious!

Just a quick update on Mia's health. We have continued pushing iron rich foods on her in hopes her iron stores are up when we visit the hematologist in February. If not, she will have to start on some supplements. It is strange because her iron stores were fine back in May which was why the bone marrow issue was suspected. However, at the last visit her white cell count and everything were up, but the iron stores had dropped to below normal. So, we are back to trying the iron, which did not change her levels before so leave us hesitant to believe it will help. However, her anemia is not causing any major issues for her at this time. She definitely is full of energy! Unrelated, she was showing some signs that can point to being pre-diabetic so the dr did a fasting blood sugar test yesterday and thankfully, the numbers came back great.

However, we are now facing another issue with her health and are waiting for test results now. She has had chronic digestive problems for over a month. The dr thought it might be a mild case of rotovirus, but it never got worse or went away. They are now doing cultures to test for 4 different things it could be. Some very mild, some not so much. I will post an update as soon as I hear something.

In the meantime, she is still her sweet and sassy self! She likes to cuddle and still lets (or makes) me rock her to sleep at night, as she twirls my hair. I know she is 2, but I will do it as long as she lets me. She seems so much older than 2 at times, I swear girls grow up so much faster. So, any time she will let me baby her, I will!
