The Dr's tell us to expect some good days and bad days. Today was a good day! And we are praying for many more of those. Faith had a team of people working to keep her oxygen and carbon dioxide stable last night and into the morning, since then she has been doing very good. As well as she is doing the Dr's contuine to remind us, she still is very certical. If Faith keeps doing well the Dr's will operate on the hernia as early as this Thursday.
Faith also got to meet most of her family today! Although we can't hold her yet, everyone was able to see and talk to her! Grant, Olivia and Lizzy were so excited they were the first people to see Faith! They already love her so much and can't wait for her to come home. All three handle seeing Faith "hooked up" very well. And of course her grandparents, aunts and uncles got to meet her too!

Took a little break to check on Faith...It's 8:50pm and Faith's CO2 stat was at a normal level! They've been working all day to get that stat down and for it to be at normal right now is WONDERFUL!!!!! Thank you Lord :)
I'm sure a lot of you are looking for stats.....because they have to move so fast after birth to get her "hooked up" they didn't even geta chance to weigh her.. They have given some estimations .......
Weight: 8lbs something
length: 21 1/2 inches
head full of brown hair, long fingers and toes, reminds us of Elizabeth when she has on her pink bow, but she reminds of Grant when she doesn't have a bow!

She is gorgeous!! And what a sweet photo with all your kids! We're praying Faith will have many good days - also praying for the docs as they treat her and make decisions for "next steps." I had a big smile on my face when I saw the Oliver trademark pink hair bow - Faith has style already!

So thrilled to see Baby Faith, it gets me all choked up! She has great color and of course the pink bow is the perfect accessory! We thank God for how well she is doing, and pray she continues to do so. Love you, Emily and family
This picture brings back memories. I have a whole album of pics like that, minus the pretty bow! I didn't get hooked up with Sherry until later. :) You look wonderful, and your kids are fabulous. They handle the medical stuff pretty well - I think it is us adults who freak out more. We are still praying!

We love her so much already! Ephesians 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever & ever.

Aaron, Tina and Famly...Congratulations to all of you that little Faith arrived safely into this world - and that you're surrounded by family that loves you so much!! Know you are being continually lifted up in thought & prayer...we serve an awesome God who is able to do amazing things - more than we can ever imagine. A quote today in my daily devotional said "If God were small enough for our minds, He wouldn't be big enough for our needs! Expect great things in your time of need! Trust in Him!!
