As told by her mother Brandi...
So many of you have been wondering how Faith is doing. Thank you all for your thoughts prayers and support through this journey. Faith had a rough start since being brought into this world and been through more than most adults. She was born full term via c section due to being breech. Her head was under my ribs and she wouldn’t turn. When she came out she did pretty well Tuesday then on Wednesday she started having episodes of apnea. Her brain wasn’t sending signals to her lungs to breathe. She was put on a cpap then by Thursday she was placed on a ventilator. Friday we were told that she has trisomy 18, Edwards Syndrome which is a rare chromosomal defect. There is no cure, no fix, it just is. These babies have short life spans. They are lucky if they live past the first 6-9days of life. 
By Saturday the ventilator was doing all the breathing for her and Deryk and I had to make a heart breaking decision. That’s not a life living on a vent for the rest of her days. 
But our little girl wasn’t done fighting yet, she was not done living! The vent was discontinued, she opened her eyes and breathed! She was placed on monitors to track her oxygen, heart rate and respiration’s. We waited another week to see how she would do. No more episodes of apnea! We went through a week of education and learning how to care for once she came home. Our hope was restored! She would come home! Our Faith is now 2 weeks old and defying the odds! Our Faith is a true testimony that there is power in prayer! ❤️
I also have to say that the staff at Penn Highlands DuBois NICU and maternity are amazing people! We couldn’t have gotten this far without them! They went above and beyond their call of duty and made whatever accommodations for Faith, us and our family. They have been a God send for us and we are forever grateful to them. 💝

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope someone can get you the info.

She once offered me a place to stay if I got stuck in a snowstorm after only meeting once. She was truly an incredible person and will be missed.

I dont want to let it go

We've had three more since that.  They are awesome little dogs, and you can't help but love them!

Congrats on the 30 pounds!!! I've lost 18 pounds since last May!!!

Wiener Dog has lost 5 pounds since she had her seizures a couple of months ago. She is more happy, running, playing, chasing critters in the yard, jumping on the back of the couch, playing with her ball, LC, etc. I think she needs to loose another 3 pounds, but will call the vet and see what weight he thinks she should be at. She is a Tweenie.

Wow! Who doesn't make sure something is dead before they bury it? 

I told Wiener Dog last night that I would take her to Petco tomorrow (today). She was soo excited, she kept running to the door then back to me. I had to explain that we weren't going right then and there!!
So today I took her, but we went the long way to DuBois. We stopped on Anderson Creek Rd and looked at the frozen reservoir and went on our way.
She got a new sweater, coat, boots, allergy med and calming med for in the car (it works!!!). She was funny to watch walking in the boots and of course, like a kid, she kicked them off!!! lol
Doesn't she look thrilled with her new fashion statement!!
 

 

 

My three are at home snuggled together in their cage.  This morning they went outside, did their business, then tried to commandeer my bed.  It's always my bed, never one of the other two or the couch.  I guess mine gets the best sun.

Our German Shepherds (rest in peace) loved the Winter and the colder the better. They would go outside and lay in the snow on the coldest days of the year and would stay out there all day if we let them. The male laid outside one day we were having a pretty good snow storm and we couldn't find him. Well the goof ball finally decided to get up when we were calling him and he was covered with snow and looked at us like what the heck I was right here the whole time.
Man I miss those two!!
Me and the wife have been talking quite a bit and it sounds like it's time to have a new family member or two.
