Zoe continues to show strength. She has had some set backs in the last 24 hours. A valve just outside her heart has re opened so hopefully a round of medicine will assist in closing it again. This is not uncommon for her age.
Zoe is still not back on feeds. They are trying to keep her well rested which means no stories or hand holding for the moment as she needs to build up her reserves to continue her strength to fight.
She is opening her eyes a little more which is marvellous to see.
She is ultra sensitive to noise and light and this makes her need a higher content of oxygen so they are also trying to minimise these things.
Doctors and nurses continue to be supportive and realistic with the focus being one day at a time.
Her lungs are fragile with one being collapsed and her needing more pressure from the ventilator this is where your prayers are needed.
:-) Thank you for all your messages, prayers, emails, sms, letters and even candle lighting.
Zoe Hope sure has a cheer squad. xo
Praise the Lord for supporting the medical team in the multitude and variety of tasks required to encourage Zoe Hope's development.

ReplyDeleteJan en Mandi, mag jul klein bloeiseltjie spoedig sterker word. Ek streel in die gees oor haar goue haartjies en laat die liefde en genade van die Here daar agter - vir haar en vir julle. Die res sal ek in my gebede doen.
