So, I am a very curious person. I look at Faith's visitor map every day (usually multiple times a day!) to try and guess who's reading the blog. And I notice a few places showing up on there pretty much every day. Places where I don't know anyone, so I can't figure out who it is. Would any of you care to introduce yourselves by posting a comment? The thing I'd most love to know is how you're finding us, because I've tried googling a few different ways and the blog doesn't come up. I LOVE that people all over the world are reading Faith's story, and hopefully getting information that will help them or someone they love improve their health and quality of life :)
So... Uster, Switzerland - Oslo, Norway - all of you various Canadians - Escondido, CA (I see you a lot, but can't for the life of me figure out who you could be!) - and Sarah Palin up in Wasilla, AK ;-) ... who are you and how did you find us?

Hey Raeanne,
I am from Escondido,Ca originally and it would be my guess that my friends who follow my blog have also made their way over to yours.
i'm glad people are reading about Faith's story.
Aha! Mystery solved! :) How are you guys feeling? Think you'll be able to sneak in a visit before we check out of here? (The goal is to get us out of here by the weekend!)
Not sure how I found your site but I'm sure it was from another SBS family. I live in Pa but am currently at AI DuPont Children's Hospital in DE.
Hi Raeanne,
This is Elise from DAP - I've been way out of touch. Faith is so beautiful and I'll pass your blog on. You're all in our prayers as you make the trip to Boston.
Now you have a reader in Hawaii :)
Love and aloha to you all!
Hi Raeanne, I'm in Friday Harbor WA. I check on Faith everyday probably! I found you guys through gastroschisis.co.uk, way back in the beginning. Faith is one of my first stops in the morning. Right in there with my mail and the news!

Hi Raeanne,
My name is Elaine and I am from Illinois. My grandaughter was born 2/20/08 with gastroschissis. Faith's journey has been really similar to hers (practically the same surgeries). I sorta got addicted to your story so check it out daily along with a number of other short gut blogs. Never know when you are gonna here something that sheds some light.
Faith is in my thoughts and prayers, good luck on your journey to Boston.
Beckie is right. I am Audra and I found your blog through her blog. I was curious because I loved your daughters name. I am in awe with all you have had to deal with and how strong and positive you have been through all you have been through. I love watching Faith grow in all her pictures and I pray that she gets well soon.
I forgot to say that I am from Escondido, CA
Hi Raeanne & Faith
I am Michelle from Dallas TX. I found your site through Mothering boards. I check on Faith probably every morning and at night before bed. Faith and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Wow! How fantastic to hear of all the people in so many places reading about our sweet little Faith. Please believe me when I say it is so important to Raeanne and our entire family to know that you are all keeping Faith in your prayers! The boys have included all of you in their prayers for quite a while now too. I am sure that knowing you are all out there has helped Raeanne keep up the positive attitude and remain strong in such a difficult time. Keep the comments coming, we love to hear from you.
I look at the map a few times a day too wondering how the story has spread to so many places.
May God bless all of your lives.

Hi Raeanne,
I found you and your cutie Faith from the mothering site. I'm a birth doula who is studying/specializing in supporting mamas with complicated births due to medical issues.
It's such a gift to be able to learn from you and Faith how to support other families facing similar issues.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
(I'm from Seattle btw)
Raeanne,
I found your blog on Geeps I believe... I had Lucy, my gastro princess, 7/24/08. I check on Faith daily. Your dedication and attitude inspire me.
Ashley
