Day 52

Zoe Hope has had a good day today. She has been resting well and enjoying the stories we have read to her. Mum had Kangaroo Care again today. It is awkward with all the pipes and wires however she was so nice and warm snuggling on mum's chest.

It is believed that when a baby has skin to skin contact with it's mother the bugs that are on the babies skin are some how absorbed into the mother's skin which help produce antibodies to fight those bugs in the breast milk that is then given to the baby. Nature is a wonderful and amazing thing.

The x-ray taken yesterday shows no significant change in her lungs. This is a good sign that they are not worse. The levels of saturation are being closely monitored to challenge her lungs again.

We need to pray that Zoe Hope can manage without the bi-pap and move across to cpap now she is getting older and stronger.

Thank you again for all the encouragement and support from you all and a big thank you to the lovely nurses and doctors who are extremely professional and informative in every way.
