We have had 3 great days in a row! Yesterday I was able to feed her twice, change her diaper twice, take her temperature, and snuggle. Daddy was able to have some snuggle time too.  Today I was able to feed and snuggle her and Daddy did the same.  Daddy also took her temperature for the first time.  It is amazing how doing the little things make us feel a little less helpless.  It is wonderful to be able to do something for her.  We are loving being able to do things for her and to bond with her. She is able to have a little more breast milk each day!

Faith will not be having surgery tomorrow.  The measurement of her head is exactly the same as it was at birth.  This means there is no pressure which is an awesome thing.  The longer they can wait to do surgery the better.  Time will allow her to grow bigger and stronger.  Time will also allow her abdomen to heal from her surgery last week.  This is important because when they put in her brain shunt it will drain into her abdomen. 

We do our best to explain what is going on.  Please feel free to post any questions you may have.  We will try to answer them the best we can and as soon as we can. 

We appreciate that we have so much love and support from so many people.  Many people have asked about visiting.  We appreciate it but have to do what is best for Faith.  Less visitors means less germs and less risk of infection.  Please continue to keep Faith in your prayers!

With Love,
Steve and Michele

  1. My favorite post of all, good news followed by good times :) I am so happy to hear that you are able to spend more time with her, especially getting to hold her in your arms and feed her. With Faith not being at home yet, those little things matter most. Glad to hear things are going well and I can't wait to see your little family all together. Love and Miss You!
