This is near the conclusion of day two in the life of Zoey Dodson. We are in ABQ and Macy got to spend about an hour and a half with Zoey early this evening. They didn’t get to kangaroo because they moved her to an incubator right before she came. Tomorrow they will kangaroo and Macy can spend some time bonding with her. Zoey is doing well. The ventilator is letting her rest a little bit more. Moving her to the incubator is a good sign that they don’t have to continually poke, prod etc. We do have one very specific prayer request. The ductus valve between the two lower arteries that come out of the heart has not fully closed yet. This normally closes in all babies in about 24 hours. They hope it will close in the next 72 hours. She is getting more blood to her lungs than to the rest of her body and it makes it harder on her lungs and body. They will give her ibuprofen if it does not close. This will help her tremendously for the valve to close.
Praise God for two poopey diapers today!! Her digestive system is kicking in. She is a little jaundice and has been doing some sunbathing in her incubator with her cute sun glasses. That is very common for someone her size. We need to pray for her protection from infection too. This next week will undoubtedly be filled with many emotions. However, there is an overwhelming sense of peace since we know that you all have been praying for Zoey and Macy and God is watching over her and ministering to the many needs that she has.
Macy was a little overwhelmed tonight with the emotions of being with Zoey. She was disappointed in not being able to hold her and looks forward to tomorrow. She is doing very well with the breast feeding. She lost about 2 liters of blood during the time period prior to Zoey’s birth so she is a bit anemic and still pretty weak. We need to pray for quick healing and energy to minister to Zoey.
Mark is doing really well. It was great for him to be able to lead the way tonight with Macy. He says he is resting pretty well at night. He is such a rock and we see that Zoey is already becoming a “daddy’s little girl”. Please continue to pray for his health and wisdom as he guides his little family. He is so precious to us, and the best son-in-law in the world.
God is revealing much to us all. Please pray specifically and in faith. Let’s also take time to thank God for our families and the bond we all share as brothers and sisters in Christ. It is awesome to see the body of Christ at work. We give God all of the Glory for the great things he has done and will do through Miss Zoey.
Thanks again for your support and prayers. Of course this update comes with pictures of the most beautiful grand baby around, compliments of Aunt Ashton! Macy’s hands in the picture give you some perspective on this little angel’s size.
