Waiting has become a normal part of our rutine. Every day we sit with Faith wondering what is going to happen. So far it has been 10 days and still nothing had changed. We continue to wait to see if she is going to need surgery before she comes home. Right now, we are waiting for the cardiologist to come in and check on Faith, and so we wait.
If I wanted to sum up the birth of our first child in one word, it would be awesome. Watching Nell through the whole process is something that has changed my life. It was by far the coolest thing that I have ever seen. The most memorable part of the whole experience was the moment they placed Faith on her chest. That is something that I’ll never be able to describe with words, but will remember forever. Right now, I am anxious for Faith to come home. Nell deserves to have Faith with her all the time. We are just asking that everyone continue to pray for her healing. I know that God has everything in control, it is just difficult for us to continue to wait.
Faith is here!!!!! It was incredible to watch her enter the world. She arrived Wednesday morning at 7:28 am and was 7lbs. 11oz. 19 ½ inches long. Right now she is still in the NICU, but Nell and I are extremely anxious for her to come home. There is no timetable for her homecoming, so we are just asking for prayer that it will be soon. She is doing well, but they are continuing to monitor her until they are confident she can handle being home. Sorry we didn’t post this sooner, we have been spending a lot of time at the hospital so we can be close to our little girl.
Where do I begin…
I met with the pediatric cardiologist on April 24th. Everything is looking about the same as it has been. Except, the coarctation the doctor was pretty sure he saw in January appears to have corrected itself. However, as they’ve been saying all along, they can’t really tell exactly how everything looks until she’s born and they do an echocardiogram on her. Read more…
