Outtakes: Wee Li l Mia s not so Wee anymore
Frank Weaver Jr.
Part 1 of 2
If you recall our youngest granddaughter, Mia, she of whom I ve dubbed “Wee Li l Mia” in previous columns, you may have wondered what ever happened to her. It s been many moons since I ve updated you so, to begin, she s not so “wee” anymore.
To give you some background, when she was born she was given way less than a 10 percent chance of surviving. Our daughter and son-in-law, Wendy and Bobby, had her air-lifted to C. S. Mott Children s Hospital, part of the huge University of Michigan Hospital complex in Ann Arbor. So bleak was Mia s hope for surviving that, to be with her during an emergency, Wendy and Bobby, along with their three other daughters, Nina, AnnaMay and Ella, lived together in one room on campus at the nearby Ronald McDonald House and attended Sunday church services there for almost a year.
