Day 19

Zoe Hope has had an up and down day today. She is still not really responding with the new ventilator. Zoe Hope is very particular on where she likes to be positioned and if the nurses or doctors move her away from her comfort she plays up and sends the machines into turmoil along with mum and dad and her wonderful nurses and doctors. Well at least she has a spark within her tiny self.

Today the arterial line failed so they have attempted to insert another with out success so will try again later tonight. The PDA duct has again closed clinically for the third time now (we hope it remains closed as this tends to set her back each time it reopens).

Her lungs are still struggling and so tonight Zoe Hope will be given some medicine to help boost them and hopefully make them stronger. It is intended that this medicine will be given over ten days. Please continue to pray that Zoe Hope responds to the new interventions. She certainly is a little fighter but has gone through so much for someone so tiny.

Thank you to all of you who continue to pray, send messages and help out when needed. The best support we could have is through your prayers and love.
