Sorry there hasn't been any updates lately! This past week I think it all caught up with me and the mommy adrenaline was withering away! To think of what to post just made me tired...but today I'm refreshed and ready to go!
Faith continued to be a star with her lung issues! She has impressed many, but I continue to remind the docs it's b/c soooooo many people were praying for her! Faith decided at two weeks old that she didn't want to be on oxygen any more and pulled off her own nasal cannula! And she did really well, this girl knows what she wants! God is good!
She contines to show progress everyday in her breathing rates, they are still a bit fast but way more under control now. The next step now becomes getting her to eat well. Sometimes CDH babies have a hard time with nippling but Faith takes the binki, bottle and nursing well! One more thing to thank the Lord for! Although she is nursing good she wasn't quite getting enough calories, so on Friday they decided to put the feeding tube back in to help her catch up. Today she is nursing and then following up with 30ml through the feeding tube. Hopefully in a couple days she will be nursing well enough to take out the feeding tube.

Wishing you a very happy mothers day Tina. Thanks for all the updates they are so encouraging to all of us who are praying. Little Faith looks so sweet. Thanks be to God-He is so faithful. I love you, Betty
Wow! What an awesome update. May you have a wonderful Mother's Day! And also a Happy, Happy, Birthday!
Good for you, little Faith! Tina, you'll have to watch out for this one! Reminds me of Amber's Katie breathing over the respirator when she was in the NICU. The nurses said she was going to be a feisty one, are they ever right. Your little Faith shows lots of spunk! We will keep praying. Love, Aunt Verla
Happy Mothers Day Tina! So glad to hear Faith is doing good. Hope you are able to get some rest today! Those first few weeks are a bit of a blur even with a healthy baby.
Happy Mother's Day! What a precious gift you have! You are so blessed.

Hi
We are sooo glad Faith is doing good. Hopefully Faith will get the tube out sooner than later. She is so cute. We continue to lift you up in prayer along with Lizzy. We hope her treatment is going well. My kids loved the visit with Grant and Olivia. "Tina you are the best, thank you for lettng Grant and Olivia come over" (from Kamber)I don't know if Grant told you but he scored a goal. He was so happy. Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day and Birthday! Let me know if you need anything.
Lots of Love and Prayers,
Kelly, John and klan
