Out of Surgery!

We haven't been able to see Faith yet but we just got an update from the surgeon. He said the surgery went well and Faith remained stable throughout the surgery. We were hoping that they would be able to stretch Faith's diaphram to repair the hole, but they did have to use a synthetic patch. Little bummed about that, but were glad to hear that her left lung was more developed than they expected.

Thanks sooo much for everyone who prayed and sent us words of encouragement. It was very humbling to hear from all of you. Please pray for a speedy recovery.

I am so relieved that the surgery went well. I have been thinking about you guys all day. Every time I held Sophia today I thought about you not being able to hold little Faith. I can't wait to hear that you are able to do that. I am so glad that you guys have such a strong faith to get you through this hard time. Thanks for the update. You continue to be in our prayers.

I am so thankful that Faith is doing well. I've been praying for her and the whole family. I have to say that following your story has reminded to be thankful for all of the little things. God is good! He has His hand on all of you and little Faith!

All of you, especially Faith, have been on my mind and in my prayers since we gathered in prayer at Inland in Grandpa Highstreet's room earlier today. I'm so glad to hear that Faith's surgery went well! God will walk alongside you and uphold you!

Blessings to you all!
