An update on Faith...

[rvrtoy]

I just wanted to write a short note on the progress of Faith. As most of you know she was born on November 18th and shortly after was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. She will be 2 months old tomorrow and is doing well for the most part. Her lungs have remained clear and so far she has shown no signs of any breathing or repatory disorder (she sees he C.F. doctor at least once a week). Her weight is slowly starting to increase (she is up to 8lbs. 5ozs.). This is starting to cause the family and her doctors some concern. Her body does not digest fats. She has to take enzymes 8 times per day. This helps her body to store some fats. We have been trying medication after medication to help stimulate her weight gain but so far they are all to harsh for her little body to handle.
My family is strong and we are working through this every day. Some days are much harder than others but we survive and just thank God that she is here with us.
Thank all of you again for your support, thoughts and prayers as they are still being answered.
The rvrtoy family

I really do not know about CF so I do not know the correct thing to say.
She is a beautiful little girl. Babies are very tuff and take things in stride. They do not know any different
I am glad she is doing great.
Info Jr. was born without any fingers on his left hand. It does not slow him down a bit.
