Update

Ten days ago, Faith began her recovery at St. Petersburg Florida Children’s Hospital. After an extremely harrowing twenty-four hours, Faith was awake, laughing, and showing signs of a full recovery. However, almost as quickly, her condition worsened dramatically. Doctors and tests indicated that the trauma to her brain was significant and all we could do was wait and pray.

On Wednesday, she and Peter were flown by air-ambulance to the Goryeb Children’s Hospital at Morristown Memorial. Since then, she has made progress. Faith is awake for long periods of time. She recognizes friends and family. She laughs at silly jokes and smiles at comforting words. She has said words like “yes,” and “Mommy.” She has squeezed her family’s hands.

Today - the greatest of achievements - Faith counted to ten and remembered her father's phone number!
