What a beautiful little girl! It has been a good weekend. Uncle Brian and Aunt Becky came up to hang out and see Zoey. We don't pretend to think that they came up for us. We know better! We were able to give her a bath today (a first for us) and Macy got to hold her for over an hour. Throughout all of this Zoey's oxygen saturation remained perfectly stable. Her percentage of oxygen was hovering around 28, down from around 80. Our friend, Suzanne Green, shared a scripture with us that really fits. "The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life." (Job 33:4) We know that God is in fact breathing for this little girl, and we praise him for this miracle. She is getting stronger and stronger every day. She is weighing in at nearly 3 lbs 6 oz. The difference is incredible. She is already getting that Dodson double chin. :) She has moved up to the big girl pacifier and is taking to it like a champ. The nurse informed us that they are going to start the process of bottle feeding. This will be slow going but it is a very critical step. If there is anything specific to pray about (other than her oxygen saturation) it would be that she takes to this. We thank you for your prayers. They are certainly felt up here.
Mark, Macy, and Zoey
