Home with Little Faith

Little Faith has been home since 11/10/23. 

Happy to share that she has been doing really well!  

It feels like we've crossed many milestones with Little Faith when it's just been three weeks. 

Melting hearts since 2023.

First time out of home, welcome to the world!

Burrito Baby

Freedom!

Tummy Time

From mentally preparing ourselves for a funeral - to successfully taking our baby home, I can't believe we'd have the chance to experience typical new-parent problems like sleep deprivation, cluster feeding,  baby jaundice, and the like.

We started out not knowing if Little Faith would survive so we didn't prep as much as we'd like to before delivery. In fact we didn't realize she would be discharged home this early. But we are grateful to have the amazing support of many friends and family members, who gave advice and helped to procure needful supplies like baby cot, feeding bottles, milk warmer etc.

Everyone has been so, so kind to us and we cannot thank all enough. 

Little Faith's heart defect is still very present on scans although clinically, she doesn't show any signs of heart problem. We will be repeating some scans on her in a few months time before the heart doctors will decide on need for surgery. We pray and hope that she will not need surgery as the complications and mortality is very high for such a complex procedure on a newborn. 

There are days I imagine losing her and my heart breaks into a million pieces. I've come to love this little baby so much. 

 

But I am reminded that God loves this precious little girl so much more than I do. 

Come what may, I am comforted that He will take care of Little Faith, whether on earth or in heaven.

He has already done a mighty good job at it and He will not stop here. 

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

- 2 Corinthians 4:18
