After 7 awesome days, at 7:00am (CT) Sunday morning; Amaya Faith went on to her eternal home in heaven to be with Jesus. With the bright sunny morning breaking on the horizon, Amaya Faith took her last breath right where she would have wanted to be; in the arms of her mother rocking her gently […]

Yeah, Amaya is one week old. How precious and beautiful she is. She had a little episode yesterday evening, but with a full blast of oxygen and some vigorous rubbing she started breathing again. She slept all night, making two great nights in a row. Praise God. She has had a great day with just […]

Sorry it has been so long since our last post. Wednesday night was really rough. Amaya crashed 3 times and the last time it took chest compressions to get her back. They say each time it is getting harder and harder to bring her back. We are continuing to do all of her medical care […]

Amaya Fatih had a great night. She is on the lowest amount of oxygen possible and kept her levels up all night! God is awesome and we are blessed just to see how sweet she is. The doctors are still amazed at how well she is breathing on her own and are moving forward to […]

Amaya Faith has made her entrance into our world, she weighs 4lbs 5oz and is 17 1/2 inches long. After an ultrasound yesterday with very low fluid levels the doctor wanted to induce this morning. We thought we had another week and were a bit unprepared but couldn’t wait to welcome our sweet little girl. […]
