Looking for the rainbow...

Above: Who said we were missing summer? Faith chillin' on her boppy. Below: Faith found a friend! We've been practicing putting in trachs on a doll.

We could probably think of a million reasons why Faith having a trach is a bad thing- but we aren't going to focus on that. Here are some positives;

*NO MORE TAPE! Faith will no longer have to wear tape on her face- even better, no more oxygen circles. The circles stick to the sides of her head to keep her tubes in place- this makes he skin very raw and prevents hair from growing there.

*We will finally get to see Faith's face for more than a couple of seconds. We can't even imagine what she is going to look like without the tubes!

*No more NG tube (feeding tube) slipping out of her nose and having to put it back in (which is not fun for Faith).

And finally the most important.......

Faith will FINALLY be able to breathe! The past 5 months (yes, it will be officially 5 on July 4th) we have watched Faith struggle for every breath- at last she will get to breath air!!!
We are searching for every little rainbow amongst this storm- and ya know what? They are there!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
