Well, another day, another miracle. Zoey continues to do awesome on her bottle feeding. She is eating like a big girl. We had a nurse tell us today that she has been doing this for 20 years and doesn't see babies as small as Zoey do so well with bottle feeds. We are so thrilled! She is SO much fun. She is so alert after her feeding. She was bright eyed tonight after I fed her. I think she is going to have big brown eyes like her daddy. Speaking of her daddy, he picked out her outfit for today. We had to get in a little leopard print in! Her oxygen levels have been leveled out. She is at a very low setting and is doing great. It is a real possiblity that we may take her home on oxygen. We pray that that won't be the case, but if it means having her home sooner...We can do that! We had a huge thing happen today...They actually mentioned 'home' in a sentence to us! If she keeps doing well with her feeding, she will continue to move up and eventually take all 8 feeds with a bottle. Once she does that, we are 'home free'. They are thinking maybe in the next few weeks! It's so incredible to think about taking my miracle home. I can't wait to be home and be a full time mommy. We continue to pray for her to have strength and have energy for her 'meal times'. We hope that when we do get home that when people see her, especially all of you who have prayed for her, they will know and see that she is a REAL miracle and a testimony to God's greatness! We pray that you will all be blessed by knowing that your prayers are the reason why Miss Zoey is here. God answers prayers and is still in the business of doing miracles! We are eternally grateful! We will keep you posted as we are hopefully on the HOME stretch!
Love always,
Macy, Mark and Zoey
