Our Sweet Gia: Second Update on Gia

Sent on Feb. 26, 2011

Hello All...

We've decided to send updates on Gia via email to keep everyone updated. Some of you did not receive my last email - (I've included it at the bottom if you didn't get it before). At first, we put some pictures up on Facebook (to share with many of you who are far away)... but I felt wierd about that, so I took them down. I will use email instead, to a select group of dear friends and family. We are totally fine with you forwarding these emails to other family/friends who would like to keep Gia in prayer... it just didn't feel good having those pics out on Facebook for all to see...

The latest news is that Gia did wonderfully on Thursday for her EEG test down at Denver Children's Hospital. Gammie and Papa took the older three girls for a sleepover Wed. night. We had to keep her up till midnight, then wake her at 4am (she had to be sleep deprived for the test). We took her swimming at our gym until 10pm, she loved it! She was chatty and playing all the way until midnight... such a night owl, that girl!

Thursday morning we headed out at 6:45 am to the North Campus of the Denver Children's Hospital. She was so brave, such a trooper (and amazingly, for a 2 year old) laid there very still while the technician applied the wires to her little head and got the readings necessary. We hope to hear early next week what the results are from the test. A Pediatric Neurologist will read the test, dictate it and send it to our Pediatrician. Hopefully there will be some good news there. We probably won't know many details though, until April 5th when we meet with a Ped. Neuro down at Children's Hospital, main campus.

Thank you for all of your prayers... I know that is why she did so well on Thursday!

We love you all and appreciate your support and love!

Here's some pictures from Wed. and Thursday....
