Chompin' at the bit


24 hours after surgery we came home.


About 4 minutes after that Faith proceeded to run around the house defying the doctor's "do not do" orders (you know running, wrestling, exerting oneself etc.)


Fast forward to the present and she is still our wild child who refuses to milk the "I-can-watch-all-of-the-TV-I-want/get-out-of-jail-pass "that goes along with surgery.


I know children have high pain tolerances but coming from someone who has had her tonsils and adenoids out (on separate occasions) I know how much it hurts...and our little girl isn't even batting an eye (and btw the only pain med. she came home with is over the counter Tylenol).


Incredible.


And now onto the question that is on every one's mind...(at least I think it is...)


What's next?


Still no definitive answer as of yet, but we get the sense that there is a big change on the way...

We'll let you know more soon!

Thanks for your prayers and well wishes,

Jen & CO.

Hi Jen,
Nice to meet you, I found you over at Taking a deep breath. Your daughter is beautiful. I have a little girl named Faith too! She has CP. I am going to follow you so I can get to know your little one and you too!

Hi, my name is Alicia Smiley. I Javier Mercado's sister. I have been following your blog since Faith was born. We too have a blog for our now six year old who had brain cancer last year in the form of a tumor. The 18th is her 1 year anniversary of that surgery and she just had another one last Friday. You can read all about it at www.wearesmiley.blogspot.com. But that isn't the reason I wrote. I wrote because Ellie, who is now six underwent a nerve graft for her face to restore movement in her right side of her face and she refused all the strong pain meds at the hospital. She only took Tylenol once there and at home she barely takes it for pain. She is also a strong brave girl like your Faith is. It's amazing the kids power and strength and tolerance of pain. Although this nerve graft surgery is nothing like brain surgery but she is back in school and doing great 3 days after surgery. Your family is full of fighters and I'm thankful to read your blog. Good luck with everything!
