Make That Joint #7

Update on Mia:

I spoke to the doctor who will be doing Mia's procedure tomorrow. Originally, he was going to only drain two joints on her right foot - the outside ankle bone/joint and the big toe (making this joints #5 & #6 for her). However, Mia will now be having three joints drained and injected tomorrow as the inside of her right ankle (joint #7) is now very swollen from arthritis.

All things aside, this new doctor has been so nice to work with - very understanding and genuinely concerned for Mia. He said he would look at the rest of her foot and toes and would be "happy to inject whatever needs to be done." It's comforting to know your child is in good hands!

Mia is all too familiar with the "drill" for tomorrow. While she knows what to expect, it does not make it any easier for her. Please pray that her mind, heart and body with be at peace tomorrow (she is not a big fan of getting an IV...at all!). But, we know she will get through this procedure just like the other ones. Our daughter is a trooper! Tomorrow can't come soon enough for her...or us.

We are looking forward to her feeling MUCH better so she can get back to enjoying LIFE!

The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest.
