The Latest on Faith
First, the good news about Faith
- She has gained roughly 6 ounces since birth and is now an even 5lbs.
- She has gained a few inches in length and is now 19 inches long.
- She will be exactly 6 weeks old on Wednesday (41 days older than the doctors ever gave her a chance of being)
Now, the bad news:
The doctors tune has changed from visit to visit, but it seems its all just different notes of the same horrible song.
When the plates in little Faiths skull fuse, they say it will put pressure on the excess fluid in her brain that pressure will in turn push down on the brain stem to the point that it basically becomes dislodged and at that point, little Faith will then have taken her last, little breath.
Besides the fact that I think all doctors are a bunch of quacks, I just want to get the same exact story, more than once. It seems every visit, the doctors change things just enough for us to think they are even crazier than we already did. So please keep praying for Faith. More information here, as it becomes available.
