1st Doctor's Visit



Faith had been home 10 days and we took her to meet Dr. Foote for the first time. He is so sweet with her and she was such a big girl, mom and dad were proud. Her weight was 14.8 and height 28". Everything looked really good and Dr. Foote said she looks to be in great health.

While in Taiwan picking up Faith the caregivers had given us all of Faith's medical records and instructions and said she had been fully immunized and would not need any more shots until she turns 1 year old. When we visited with Dr. Foote we actually found out that they had completed two of the three immunizations but for some reason they stopped half way through giving her one of them so she needed to have two more shots to complete everything.

They gave her one while at this visit and she will need another when we go back in a few months for her 9 month visit.

It was the saddest thing we had ever seen. She was sitting so cutely (as she does) playing with a little toy and the next thing we knew her little brown eye's closed so tightly and her face went beat red and she started to cry, we had never seen or heard her like this before. It was sad. Mom picked her up and made her feel all better though. It was so hard to watch them do that.

Over all the visit went really well and Faith has been amazing! We can only hope we continue to be so blessed and she continues to grow and be strong and healthy.
