Family and Friends in Pacifica
It's 8:30 on Thursday night and for the most part it's been a good few days. There have been a few times where Faith takes a few steps forward and then a little bit later she takes a few steps back. Overall they still are pleased with where she is on all the different monitors.
She has been on a breathing machine since birth. The team started her on a conventional ventilator after birth but by early Tuesday morning they had moved her to a high frequency vent. Faith continued to do very well on this, but the goal would be to get her back on the conventional vent for surgery. Today the team of Dr's felt Faith was more then stable to move to the conventional vent and they would plan for surgery mid-day Friday. We were comfortable with this as well so by 4pm she was on the conventional vent and did very well for a couple hours but by 7pm her CO2 level was way to high again on this machine and they switched back to the high frequency vent! The surgery can still be done on this vent but the Dr's prefer the conventional vent...so the surgeon will reasses tomorrow morning but the Attending Dr still feels surgery will happen tomorrow, but it is all a wait and see game.
We have felt overwhelmingly blessed by all the people praying for our sweet baby Faith! Keep it up because we sure can feel it! Thank you so much!
Speaking of prayer....a group of people have put together an awesome way some of you may be able to lift Faith up in prayer tomorrow....
At 1pm tomorrow (Friday April 24) during her surgery
four different gathering places to pray for Faith!
Tulare ~ Tulare Community Church led by Pastor Steve Duyst
Visalia ~ CVC High School led by Vicki Dykstr
aTipton ~ The Nace home led by Jim Nace
Can't make it to those locations ~ stop and pray wherever you are!
Once again we want to PRAISE our Father for all that he has done in Faith's life already!
We are still praying for a miracle and complete healing and have FAITH that it can still happen!
Because you gotta have FAITH!

Tina and Family: We know that Faith is in God's "envelope" of care. See verse 5 of your Psalm 139"You have enclosed me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me." We will keep prayingfor - the skill and hands of the doctors; the strength and resiliance of Faith's little body; and for rest in your soul as you wait during the surgery. Love, Aunt Verla and Uncle Al.
