Beautiful in Red

I was given these winter accessories from my mother in-law but Faith thought they would look better on her. Of course, I won't disagree they do look quite cute on her. It's amazing how little girls love to dress up at such an early age.

Don't I look beautiful?

Love, Hearts, Flowers, & Big Monkeys!

Holidays always tend to be a big deal at our house and this year was no execption. (Holidays seem to be more fun when you have little ones around) We gave Faith a big stuffed monkey for Valentines Day and well....I'll let you see how she liked it.

I love it!

Of course the monkey had to be in the picture

Lot's of Hugs!

Transplant Update

I had a translpant appointment yesterday and over all it went well. The doctor shared his concern about the increase in my need for oxygen and the challenge in finding smaller lungs to fit me. He did say they (UAB) have not transplanted any lungs this year. They have done 2 hearts but so far no lungs. They will have slow months and then the next month they can tranpslant lots of people, it's just always hard to tell. It's hard to understand sometimes why God allows you to stay in a season of waiting but we trust Him. God made me the size I am and He knew I would be facing a transplant and therefore He can provide what I need, we do believe that! Also, we did see Sean (the CF guy who had the transplant) and he is doing very well. His PFT's (pulmonary function test. Your lungs air capacity) are 86% and rising. His were in the low twenties before transplant.

My need for IV meds seem to be monthly if not every couple of weeks now and I stay tired most of the time. I know you all pray for us and so I just ask for prayers for continualy strength and the healing to get off the meds for a while, give my body a break. Pray for our emotions too. Also, please pray for Jason & Callie as they daily take care of Faith and I and ALL our needs.

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12

Dinners are never boring

Our dinners have never been quite the same since Faith arrived. Here are a couple of examples of our dinners together and why she keeps us laughing. She is 9 months in the first scene and 13 months in the second. (I can a sure you, she doesn't learn these dinner behaviors from us!)






This was filmed in the hospital, (she always makes the hospital more enjoyable) so the stroller was the next best thing for a high chair. This was the first time Faith had ever made this silly face and she will still do it every now and then. Mimi (Jason's mom) quite enjoyed the dinner show!
