Day 45

Happy Valentines Day from Zoe Hope!

Zoe Hope has had a great day today. She was able to have a break from the CPAP and just had oxygen in her crib for 5 minutes today. This is the first time we have seen her eyes so wide open for quite some time now.

She is so cute! (This photo makes her look big however she is still so small).

The doctors have removed her central line due to the length of time it has been in and the blood tests still showing infection. They may put another one in later this week as she still requires TPN (special vitamins to help her grow and put weight on) as her milk is still in such small quantities. Zoe Hope is now on 4mls every 2 hours. She seems to be tolerating this very well at present.

Overall she has a good natural colour and hasn't required a blood transfusion in a week (longest). Yippee!

Go Zoe you can do it just like "The Little Engine" story we read.
