She's our overachiever!

Just got off the phone with the night nurse....and Faith made a few more steps in the right direction! 12:00 last night they moved her settings on the sipap to 21% oxy - that's room air!!!!
About 5am she was doing so well they moved her to a nasal cannula with high pressure! WOW..I'm so amazed at how God is working in her little body!!!

They also started a feed through a small tube and she is keeping that down and she pooped right away! So everything seems to be working right:) Our prayer now is that she will continue to digest her food and not get "backed up" and this is the time where fluid my build up in her lungs where all her digestive parts where. We don't want that to happen, because that could lead to a chest tube. So keep the praying up.....What a mighty God we serve!

Praise God! We were so thankful to see her yesterday more awake, makeing noise and kicking her feet and moving her arms. Very thankful she has made progress during the night. Praying for continued healing and hoping to have her go home soon. Love Papa & Grammy

Seriously. We question whether things are miracles or just chance happenings......all the time!!! The power of prayer is an amazing thing. God performs amazing miracles in our days just as he did in the bible times. I am amazed in the miracle of baby Faith's progress. What a miracle. We will keep praying for continued healing and progress. Wow!!
