Day 57

Zoe Hope has had a wonderful day today.

This morning she got a hold of her nasal prongs and pulled them out and with her automatic action put them in again, giving herself a blood nose. (Learning the hard way isn't really fair when you have no control over your movements yet!).

She enjoyed her dad giving her a nice warm bath with the wonderful guidance of nurse Suzette. Having no central line or cannulas in her limbs certainly made it easier. Dad just had to hold her tiny head and neck so she didn't slip into the bowl. (He loved every minute).

After her bath she had kangaroo care with mum until she got too wriggly. (The CPAP is very noisy. Hope she doesn't learn to snore).



She is now 1.196kg. (A little heavier than your cooking flour).

Please continue to pray for strong and healthy lungs.
