I wanted to post some pictures that I took of Faith over the summer months. Not a whole lot is new with Faith right now. We are still dealing with many of the same struggles, but we are keeping positive and enjoying the small improvements. Faith does seem to be tolerating the world around her better and becoming more aware of things. Also, she is anticipating things more often. Faith giggles often and we just can’t get enough of those happy moments!!
Keeping the faith,
Bridget

Ten months ago today, Faith joined us in this world! Faith is growing well and reached the 16 pound mark this past month. We are so thankful for her growth and improved health. Faith is showing progress. Her trunk extension has improved and she is tolerating time on her tummy much better.

Along with her physical therapy sessions, we are working with Faith as much as possible to help her progress. Patience, patience, patience!!!
Faith is still struggling greatly with sleep. We have exhausted many different options and are currently trying some …

Faith is truly blessed to have a dad who is so in love with her. It has been amazing to watch Mike grow into such an extraordinary father. Mike has fully accepted the challenge and takes such pride in being Faith’s dad. I admire Mike’s strength, devotion, and ability to remain positive through all of the ups and downs. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner on this journey of raising a special needs child. God knew he could trust Mike to be the father Faith needs. I am …
