Day 9

Well today Zoe Hope continues to amaze us all.

She has finally used her bowels and that was a big hurdle to overcome for her. Her tummy looks a lot more at rest and not so swollen. Jan who normally dry reaches at the sight or smell of poo even looked for the nappy. Both proud of her today overcoming something we all take for granted.

Her feeds are still on hold as they will again attempt to move the arterial line away from her belly button and place it elsewhere within the next 24hours. Please pray for this next hurdle.

Zoe is now trying to open her eyes just the slightest and it brought tears to our eyes. She is very sensitive to noise however the singing of nursery rhymes seems to be of comfort.

The boys continue to blow butterfly kisses to Zoe Hope.

Thank you for your encouraging messages and prayers.

Thank you God for being with us on this journey with Zoe Hope and may you continue to give us all strength.
