Rebekah just called me to let me know that Zoe is being taken off the Jet Ventilator today to see how she handles it. This is a very big step for her. Pray that Zoe is strong and her oxygen and blood gases show that they are strong!
As of last night....
Zoe had another transfusion last night, just to help her a little. The Dr's were not to worried about her blood production but with trying to ween the ventilator off a little they wanted her to have good flow to carry the oxygen. She did really well and is still holding strong at 2lb 2oz! Hard to believe 19 days ago she was only 1lb 12oz!! She is a fighter, that is for sure!
Thoughts from Daddy and Mommy last night.....
"I thought that there were certain things in life I would not make it thru, and then I gave birth to my beautiful little Zoe 15 weeks early. I found strength I didn't know was even possible when I look at my little girl and knew what a fight she was in for. I praise God for every day he gives to me with her, and for the blessing he has given to my family by giving this little miracle to us. I am so... grateful for the support of so many people out there and especially my family that has gather around us. I think that this crisis had to happen because it was Gods will and even though I try to fight him daily, in the end he touches my heart and lets me know he is in the driver seat! Keep the prayers coming because without them I don't know that I could keep going. Thank you all God bless and keep your families safe."
PS...She "found strength" she thought she didn't have but her family and friends already knew she had it! ♥ you baby sister!
I am so proud of my little girl! She gives me the strength to go on.
