Wow, I can’t believe how much faster a month at home goes then a month in the hospital! Faith is doing fantastic! We had a check up at UCSF last week and they are so pleased with how she is doing! She gained two pounds since leaving the hospital, was in the 90th percentile for her height (surprise, surprise)! They also lowered some of her meds. She had a follow up echogram, it showed that her heart was back to normal and showed no signs of hypertension! Praise the Lord! Can I just say that again….PRAISE THE LORD!!! We stand in awe of what God has done in Faith’s little life already! We wanted to thank all of you for your many prayers on her behalf! I think if God had a cell phone he would be WAY over on his minutes from all the “calls” you made! But then again I’m sure most of you are in his “network”!
We don’t have to go back to UCSF till she is 6 months!! WOOHOO!! We have been asked a lot “well what now or is she back to normal?” There is always a chance that she can reherniate, never to the extent of what she had but with her size of defect there is a 50% chance the patch will tear away from the muscle. We also have to watch for signs of a bowell obstruction. Some other things the CDH clinic will keep on eye on…..lung function, development issues, and for some reason some CDH babies may experience some hearing loss. Faith passed her first hearing test with flying colors! So, yes she has over come some huge issues with the Lord’s help. But more prayer for her continued health is always welcome!
Once more thank you, thank you, thank you for all your prayers! God has heard our prayers! What a mighty God we serve! We give God all the glory for what He has done
And will continue to do!
We have to come to realize that life will always have storms that come and go but what really matters is what foundation your house is built on? If built on the beautiful but shifting sand the storms will surely take its toll. Build your house on the SOLID ROCK and after the storm your house may need a little refurbishing but you will still be standing in HIS amazing grace!
