Dear baby Zoey

It's August 6, 2013. That means you are three days old. Mommy came to spend all day with you today. Triplets are coming in so when they do they will kick me out but I'll be back.

Here is what's going on with you today...

You aren't keeping oxygen level well so they took an x-ray. Your rt upper lung is collapsed so they turned you on your belly to see if that will help you breath better. You also aren't digesting your food. So they pulled the food out of you and are starting to feed it to u again to see if you will digest it. U need to poo little one. You are on the light and you have your sunshades on. You are so beautiful and cute I can't take my eyes off you. Aunt Trudy and great grandma might come see you today or tomorrow.

You have some infections. One for just coming early, one in your lungs and one that could be strep b. they don't know if you have it but they are going to treat it just in case you do so they don't have to play catch up.

Anomia in lungs

Jay called around 8:15 and they said she had a good night. She is taking deep breaths on her own and they have really weaned down the ventilator. They were going to move her to a different vent. that allows her to breathe more independently. They said she’s been feeding well and tolerating and digesting the milk. They are doing phototherapy, which is very common even with term babies.
