[tri-med] Faith is with the Lord

Baby Faith went to be with the Lord yesterday, December 15th at 1:40 pm. We 
are so thankful for the time we had with her. She was so content, especially 
in Mommy and Daddy's arms. Her apnea spells started increasing and she seemed 
to be getting uncomfortable - probably from her omphalocele. They had to take 
out her IV because it started leaking. She had a major apnea around 8:30am 
where her oxygen saturation was down to 1 and 0 for a long time - probably 10 
minutes. She was on my chest - skin to skin. So we unhooked the monitor 
because we thought that was it. But then, the little fighter started breathing 
again and went back up in the 90's! Her breathing seemed more labored and 
uncomfortable so we gave her a shot of morphine. She took a nap in Daddy's 
arms and then had another big apnea spell where again we thought she was 
saying goodbye - and up again she came. Then finally, she had another one 
where she finally let go at 1:40 pm. She rested safely in her Daddy's arms. It 
was so hard and sad to see her go. We are so thankful for the 4 good days we 
had with her but as a lot of you know - the pain can seem unbearable. We know 
she has arrived at her true home in heaven, but we miss her so much. She was 
such a blessing to us. 
The Lord is faithful.
