About me

Introduction	Mia is a twin and one of our four beautiful children. When my husband and I went in for our routine, 16 week ultrasound, the doctor noticed that one twin had fluid on the brain, hydrocephalus. We were told that "twin B" had a less than 50% chance to survive and that we may want to consider fetal reduction. This would give "twin A" a better chance to thrive. How could we terminate? God had blessed us with two beautiful children already and we just prayed He would bless us again. The hydrocephalus was more severe with every ultrasound. Thankfully, both babies made it to 36.5 weeks. On Novemver 25th, 2008 we met our two beautiful daughers, Mia and Gabriella. Mia was taken to surgery immediately for a colostomy and to have a drain placed to release some of the fluid from her brain. She was born with severe hydrocephalus, an imperforate anus (part of her VATER Syndrome), one kidney and abnormal vertebrae. She is our miracle and our angel!! Her smile just melts our hearts. She is so strong and she has changed our lives completely, for the better! We are blessed to have so many friends and family that support and pray for Mia on a daily basis.
