Dear Baby Zoey
Update:
Your cpap is down to seven. Which means you are mostly breathing
on your own.
Your weight is 2 pounds 11 ounces.
Your temp in your incubator is 36.6.
Your liver is normal I think
And no more antibiotic
You have a big poo this morning and peed all over yourself.
You absolutely LOVE your binky. It's so fun me me to see you
suck on your binky. Hopefully that is a great sign that you will nurse.
Your diaper rash is getting better
And yes I say this every day but I'm hoping, praying that I get
to hold you tomorrow!!!!! Ahhhhh yay!!!! So please keep working hard on getting
better and strong so I can :)!!!

Dear Baby Zoey
Today has been the first day that I have not been with you all day
because I had to go to work. So to sum it up....I've been crying all day. I
know you don't know if mommy is here but I do and my heart sure does.
Mommy started crying when she saw you. Yes, this is dumb but you
have changed so much in just a day. Your hands and feet definitely take on the
Williams gene because they are soo long. It's ok though because Trudy will let
you borrow her 100's of shoes. Lol.
Ok, so lets do an update:
The nurse just said "she is incredible"!!! Ahhh music
to my ears. Your last dose of antibiotics are tonight. The drs don't
think you have a major infection because your vitals and stats are so good. If
you would have had an infection it would have shown up by now. It doesn't mean
that you can't still get one but you are looking good :)
Since 10:00am this morning you have been able to breath mostly
on your own. This is huge considering your upper rt lung was collapsed on
Monday and you were on the ventilator, which was completely breathing for you.
Your temp is 37.5c
Your weight is 2.9 1/2 pounds
Your Bilirubin is good and you don't have to be on the lights.
They didn't mention your large liver today so Im hoping that
means its ok.
Brain ultrasound is still on Monday to check for brain bleeds.
They can't check your sight, hearing etc until 34-35 weeks
gestation. I'm praying all that will be normal.
They decreased your humidity to 40%.
They are pulling your last line in your belly tonight!!! This is
huge news!!
Our goal if you are still doing good is for mommy to get to hold
you for the first time on Sunday. I can't even write that without crying. I've
been dreaming of holding you for months (years) and I can't imagine what it
will be like.
Mommy just wants to take you home in her purse...lol that was a
joke!!!
Mommy hopes you get to come home in October because that is when
your due date was. However, you said nope I'm coming in August whether you like
it or not....stubborn....just like daddy....lol!!...not mommy..remember
that....:)
It's almost time for your cares/assessment. Every three hours I
get to take your temp and change your diaper and clean your mouth. Mostly it
means that I get to TOUCH you instead of just staring at you through your
incubator(which I also love). I could stare at you all day. You are such a
little miracle. I bet all Your brothers on the other side of the veil miss you
a ton. But Elyse and Jace ask me everyday when they can see you. They can't
wait to feed and burp you. We will see how long that lasts. Lol
You have very sensitive skin so they have kept your diaper off
today. Hopefully this will help your sores.
They are increasing your fluids to 99%, which means you are on
99% breast milk 1% fluids.
Kimmi is amazing. She is still pumping for you every 3-4 hours.
That is probably why you are getting better. She, as well as everyone else,
loves and prays for you constantly.
Well I'm going to scrub up and get disinfected/sanitized so I
can touch you. Yay. Love you soooo much!
Love
Mommy
