Day 47

Today Zoe Hope has had a set back in that her feeds have been withdrawn due to her swollen stomach. Doctors and nurses are hoping it is only due to the air getting into her stomach so are closely monitoring it. She is not a good colour today. This could be due to the troubles with her stomach.

The central line was again put in (this time in her arm). This procedure took 2 hours so it was not an easy task. It is done in a sterile environment within the NICU. Zoe remains in her crib during this time. Due to this procedure Zoe Hope has again required more pressures and higher oxygen levels.

The nasal prongs on her nose have continued to cause irritation so the nurses are again alternating with a triangle mask and the prongs.

Please pray that Zoe Hope overcomes these new hurdles.
