Day 49

Today Zoe Hope had a nice break away from the tubes. She enjoyed opening her eyes even if it was only for a little while. Nurse Kristina is holding her up and has the Neopap close by if needed.

Zoe Hope had gone up to 6mls every second hour however the doctors want to try her on a continuous feed in the hope that her saturation of oxygen improves.

This afternoon after Cares nurse Katrina and Dad helped mum and Zoe prepare for the 'first cuddle' (Kangaroo Care). What an amazing experience it was to finally hold our little fairy princess Zoe Hope. She snuggled on my chest and was so nice and warm. I was able to talk and sing to her face to face and not glass to face. Today she is 7 weeks and 1 day old. She is a miracle.

Please pray for Zoe Hope that she may continue to be strong and leap any future hurdles put before her.
