Summer Photos

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

Faith’s Procedure & Life Update

Faith went into the hospital last week for a procedure that involved duct probing. Thank you to everyone who prayed for her. The procedure went well. However, the days following were a bit stressful.  Faith has been under anesthesia before without any issues. This time it seems that she had some significant side effects of the anesthesia. She was excessively sleepy, lethargic, sad, and at times very fussy for 3 days following the procedure. She didn’t have a whole lot of life in her. I think the scariest part was …

Happy Father’s Day, SUPER DADDY!!

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 …
