The Waiting Game...

Weeeeeell......she has not received the steroids yet. She has a possible urinary tract infection. The doctors want to give her antibiotics for a few days before administering the steroid shots. This might be a blessing in disguise because it will give her a few days to grow and mature. If she doesn't have an infection they will begin with a low dose. Today they noticed that her airways were very swollen, which could be contributing to the breathing problem. The steroids will help the inflammation, but it is a catch 22 as they are debating if the risks associated with this drug outweigh the benefits.

No more new to report- she is still holding steady at 2.2 pounds. Thanks for your continued support and encouragement!

Hi Guys, I really like having this Blog to check on little sweet pea, Faith. I saw a saying that I thought was perfect for her. "Faith turns a tiny seed into the tallest tree". Not sure if it is from the Bible or not but its sure to be from God. All of you are in my prayers and hope to see you soon.
