DAY 29
Faith made it back from the OR last night and once again, they could not find the bleed. They are saying her kidneys and liver are too damaged and this is not something she can recover from. They want us to make decisions and at some point today...we will be back in "the room". How do you make choices like this? She is still opening her eyes, she is still fighting....how do you give up on that? I don't want her to suffer. She deserves better, but I just don't know what to do. This is a horrible day.

Shelly, You all must be so tired, but keep the FAITH. Faith's still fighting. We love you all and are here if you need us.

I don't understand this. How can they not know where the bleeding is coming from. Can they call in someone like Dr. Hanley from Stanford who is the guru of pediatric open heart surgery and have him give an opinion. Don't give up!
ReplyDeleteWe love you!

I am so sorry Shelly.
ReplyDeleteI talked with Andrea this morning and she relayed this terrible news. I do not know how you decide when enough is enough. But if stopping treatment feels like giving up, not letting go, maybe it's not time yet.
Praying without ceasing for a miracle, Jane.
Our thoughts and prayers!!!! We pray that God provides you and your family with courage and wisdom for "THE ROOM" Follow your heart!!!Love from Barbara and Nick>
ReplyDeleteMy love and prayers are with you. I agree, if it feels like giving up and not letting go, keep up the fight! Faith will let you know when enough is enough.
ReplyDeleteLots of Love and Strength to you,

I have been praying since I heard about Faith a couple of weeks ago. My heart weeps with yours. I will continue to lift Faith up to her Heavenly Father, her maker. May it be of the greatest comfort, that whatever you decide, our God is Sovereign over it all and loves his daughter Faith with an unfathomable love. We beseech Thee O God for mercy and grace. We love Thee and praise Thee and thank Thee O merciful Saviour.

Many thoughts and prayers continuing for all of you...
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Aaron and family
Praying for peace with whatever decision is made. You will not be alone in "that room".
ReplyDeleteI am with Valerie-calling Dr. Hanley if possible, sounds like a great idea. Don't give up hope or Faith-things were really looking bad before and Faith pulled through. I wish I knew of something to say to comfort you..but I am at a lost for words..my prayers and thoughts are with you..
