Well much has happened since I last wrote and some of you may be receiving this for the first time. Zoey Kate decided to arrive earlier than expected. Macy was 30 weeks of a normal 40 week term. Macy had a placental abruption instead of the placenta previa which basically meant the placenta had separated from the uterine wall. Once identified the doctors decided to do an emergency C-section.
At 12:44 pm MST, Zoey Kate Dodson was born. She weighed in at a whopping 2 lbs 9 oz and was 16 ¼ inches in length. Praise God for Rick Mooney, Steve North, and Callie Dodson and Roswell Regional staff. God gave them great wisdom on all of the amazing decisions that they made throughout the last 24 hours. At about 7:30 pm MST, Zoey wrapped up snugly in her little isolette began her journey to Albuquerque to UNM hospital and her first plane ride. She is doing very well and is a fighter. She is breathing on her own, but they have her on a ventilator so she can rest. Color, temperature, activity, blood oxygen, etc. are all looking very good. She has dark brown curly hair and is perfect in every way. Daddy Mark is flying with her to Albuquerque. We will get another update on her soon.
Macy is resting, of course in some pain because of the surgery, etc. She was able to see Zoey for the first time when the wheeled her in prior to taking her to Albuquerque. Macy will likely be in the hospital until at least tomorrow evening. We hope to get her to Albuquerque on Wednesday.
Here are the specific things we need to pray for: Zoey stability, lungs, growth, etc. as they run tests etc. over the next few days. Also pray specifically that they can use both of the arteries in the umbilical cord to feed, care for, check vitals, etc. with Zoey. They have IV in the vein of the umbilical through which they are feeding her sugar solution. For Macy pray for rest, healing, and a quick recovery to be able to minister to Zoey. She is going to breast feed. For Mark, please pray for rest and wisdom as he is with Zoey in Albuquerque.
For all three of them and family, please pray for the continual peace that passes all understanding. God’s peace in this whole situation through His Holy Spirit has been miraculous. We know that the saints of God have been praying for Mark, Macy and Zoey. She is a miracle of life and is living up to the meaning of her name which is life.
Here are some pictures of Zoey in her amazing traveling isolette. One is of her tiny little foot after getting inked and printed. Isn’t she beautiful. So fearfully and wonderfully made! We are very proud grandparents!!
We love you all and appreciate your words of encouragement and prayers.
