Where has the past 4 months gone?

Well firstly apologies to those of you who have continuously checked Zoe Hope's blog for the latest news. After a rough winter with the colds etc we just got too bogged down into life at home and focused on the kids and their needs.

Zoe Hope is now 11 months old (birthday in 5 days time). Wow what a year! She now weighs 6.12kgs and has just gone into OO clothing size. She is now sitting up and has been doing so for about 5 weeks now. She got her first tooth last Monday and the second has nearly cut through.  She continues to be on oxygen at night time and this will continue until she has a review with her specialist early February.

Zoe Hope has been diagnosed with a hole in her heart which given some time may close on its own as she continues to grow or may need to be medically closed. We will have to wait and see over the coming months. She will be reviewed by her Cardiologist in April. She regularly attends physiotherapy to help with her motor skills and is doing very well.

She is now on three meals a day and continues to enjoy her milk. Zoe Hope has been going to play group Nurture Time with Miracle babies and this has been a wonderful time for mum and Zoe Hope to meet and mingle with other families of Premature and or sick babies.

She delights in time with all of us here at home especially her Great Grandmother and her grand parents who regularly come to visit. Henry and Tyler continue to enjoy the interaction with Zoe Hope as she giggles and smiles and watches their every move.

Zoe Hope was Dedicated on the 23rd October at  CABC West Ryde and this was a fabulous day for us all. (Photo below).

Zoe Hope has come so far over the past 11 months and we thank you all for your continued prayers and love and friendship as we travel this journey.  We praise God for all our children and the many miracles he blesses us all with.

We all would like to wish you a Very Merry Christmas and hope that you enjoy time with your loved ones and share in the many special moments together.

Love 'The Dippies'
