Zoe Hope today has begun to get her bowel moving again Hooray! they will up her milk to 1ml per 4hours and see how she tolerates it.
They are hoping to continue weening the oxygen levels today from the ventilator and hence attempt another ventilator in the next 36 hours. The change of ventilator will mean that Zoe Hope will not need to be sedated and will need to work more on her own breathing. In the past two days we have seen her attempting to breath a lot more.
Her lungs have shown improvement from her last scan so we are hoping that Zoe Hope will begin to move forward and begin using both lungs equally.
It is still early days and the doctors keep reminding us that she is so susceptible to infections which will set her back again so please continue to pray.
Remember to blow a kiss when you see a butterfly. It is amazing how many we have seen in the past week.
Once again, we hold to faith and hope. We will keep on praying for these wonderful posts to keep on coming. Butterfly kisses from the Dobsons. xxx
ReplyDeleteWe are thankful God has shown Zoe Hope the strength to keep on this journey. Each little sign of improvement, which may only be momentary, is a blessing.
ReplyDeleteWe are with you all every step of the way.
All our love, hugs and prayers

That is lovely news! We continue to pray that God's strength helps her take little steps forward - slowly but surely. We pray too that God will sustain the 4 of you at home waiting for little Zoe Hope to continue in her development.

I have seen so many butterflys lately and say a little prayer for Zoe Hope each time I see one.
