A Good Report!

Mia and I just returned from her Monday morning physical therapy appointment. Her PT, Mary, was quite impressed with Mia's progress. When Mia began PT back in October her left knee was bent at -20 degrees (a normal knee is at 0 degrees). In November, they measured her again and she was at -10 degrees. Today she is at -5 degrees! Praise God! Her PT was VERY excited and told us to continue doing what we have been doing (PRAYER, diet change, and NSAIDs*) with Mia because it is obviously helping.

Also, her right elbow was bent at -8 degrees. When she measured Mia today she said she was "practically straight." This is HUGE!

While we are thrilled and encouraged about these good reports, Mia still needs prayer for her right ankle. It was very swollen today and you could actually see the ball of fluid sitting on top of her ankle. Mary did some massage therapy on her ankle to work out the pocket of fluid as best as she could. She also told us to keep an eye on Mia's hips. She noticed something isn't right when Mia walks and that her gait is off. However, we know Mia is healed and just as her knee and elbow are straightening out, we know that the rest of her joints will as well. Mia's joints and tissues and IMMUNE SYSTEM will function the way God created them to with NO MALFUNCTIONS or DISEASE!

I am a very proud mommy. My little girl is handling everything so well....even the teaspoon of cod liver oil that she drinks every morning. She is healed, healthy and whole in Jesus' name. :)

  1. Dana,
    We are standing in faith for Mia. Every night Brian and I read the Bible with our girls and pray with them before bed and each night they pray for Mia. She gets her fighting spirit from her mom and dad. She will continue to show her healing and praise God for the completion.
    I love you, Dana and you're doing a great job raising your kids. Keep it up. I am proud of you.
    Love you,
    Robin
