As of 4:00pm today her "stats" are great. Mya is progressing very well. The nurses just cheered her on, not having to give her anymore blood- something they expected to have to do. They just started to feed her via IV for the first time too. I'm sure she's hungry, since it's been 36 hours since she's had anything in her little tummy. Mya gets to warm up tomorrow morning! I'm not sure why I'm so excited for this, other than I hate being cold myself! They're going to stop cooling her blood around 8:00am, which will be 36hours post CPR. Tomorrow is a big day for her and for choices to be made. They're going to allow her to wake up for a short time to see what kind of movement she'll make to see if there is any visible brain damage and may do a CT scan to look into it further. They'll also decide on going forward with surgery or not... we'll see. Until then, she's holding her own taking positive baby steps to getting better. The nurses gave her a few little beanie babies to hold onto (they're actually holding the tubes off of her body) in addition to a bow in her hair to make sure incoming staff members know she's a girl! They've been great to talk with today, as they are keeping us very calm since everything is very procedural to them.

An account has been set up for Rob & Julie under their name at Dinners Ready in Lynwood. Rob and Julie will be able to call and either pick up an order or get it delivered whenever they need it whether at hospital or home. The phone number is 425-337-7955. It's a small way we can help them out!
Mya still looks like such an angel all hooked up and everything. So glad things are progressing well!
As we speak, I'm uploading photos to our share site from her b-day.
Talk to you soon!
so happy to hear that she is doing better, thanks for the updates.
Julie, Rob and Mya. I am with you through this. My thoughts and prayers are with you constantly.
A prayer of thanksgiving for Mya's spirit and strength. Jenni Bodley
Praying for all of you. My daughter has had two heart surgeries, but never anything more than fairly mild compications.
I pray peace, wisdom and strength for each of you and the entire team of doctors, surgeons and nurses. I am also praying for Mya's comfort and strength, and for her to amaze the doctors with her recovery!
It's so great to hear that sweet little Maya is doing better today. My heart goes out to both you and Rob. You guys have some much strength! One can only imagine how strong this little girl is going to grow up to be!
You are all in my thoughts!
