Zoey had a big day! Her oxygen levels have been stable now for almost 24 hours. Praise the Lord! Since her levels were stable, they let us try her first bottle feed! It was so exciting. She takes 31 cc's every feed which is equal to one ounce of milk. The doctors don't expect babies to take more than 5 to 10 cc's the first time they try a bottle. My little miracle took 20 cc's!!! She is amazing and amazed the nurses and drs today too. She even burped like a big girl! Her oxygen even stayed up. She made her mommy and daddy proud. She did so well. We will try again tomorrow. We will only bottle feed once a day until she can take her full feed. Then we will move up to twice a day and so on. As you can see from the pictures, she is smiling more and showing so much more expression. It is so fun to watch her. We are praying for another fabulous day tomorrow! Thanks for your prayers! Today was a step toward home. I am so proud of my little one month old, 3 lb 9 oz princess! She is precious! Every step toward home makes me more anxious to get there! Hopefully it won't be long! Thanks for your prayer support! It's making a difference!
Love,
Macy
Hi Macy & Mark, Each night before we go to bed, we look at Zoey & her progress. Then we pray for her, you all & all the saints who are lifting you all up to our faithful Lord. What a privilege to lift her up to the Lord. We can hardly wait to come back to see her. In fact we thought we might come Monday if that would be okay. We could come up Sunday afternoon if needed. Let us know. Blessings & prayers, Gramps & Grandma
