They took Faith off the oscillating ventilator yesterday and put her on a standard ventilator. This allowed them to also do an EEG to check her brain function. We received some good news this evening. The initial results were good. They will not have the full report for a few days so we will hold of celebrating until the final report is in. She has been doing ok with most of her vitals, has been peeing, and has not shown any signs of seizures. In the next couple of days the doctors plan on doing another heart echocardiogram with her blood pressure lowered to look for any more defects that don't readily appear when her bp is higher. They are still trying to find out why her breathing and kidney function are not improving.
Ashleigh has had a couple of relatively uneventful days. Mom held her again and she did very well. She's eating and her vitals have been good.

It is really amazing how the phrase "uneventful days" can be so comforting. We'll remain cautiously optimistic for Miss Faith and just keep up our prayers!
Love you guys.
