Today Zoe Hope is looking a little pale so will probably need a transfusion in the next 24 hours. She has had trouble with the breathing tube (doesn't like it but can't breath without it as yet). The doctors had to take more x-rays of her miniature lungs today just to see what was happening as she wasn't breathing with the tube she was breathing against it which meant she was pushing the oxygen out and hence her carbon dioxide levels were too high. They have added more pressure from the machine as her lungs were not inflating properly. She is now more settled.
Her feeds are now 2ml per hour so we are hoping to get her to put lots more weight on and be stronger for the next hurdles that come her way.
Keep going Zoe Hope you are certainly a strong little girl.
Every little inch is worth a mile - it is great to hear how Zoe Hope's feeds have increased over the last few weeks.
ReplyDeleteZoe Hope - You've got all the love, prayers and support of fantastic parents behind you plus CHW, family and friends.
All in all - a pretty formidable Team Zoe!! Keep on keeping on, Zoe Hope.
