The following is the text of Kim's evening report along with a new picture of ZAC. I spend a lot of time looking at computer screens, but this was the best thing I have seen all day today. May the Lord Most High continue to shower us all with with His blessings! May the Most Holy Redeemer bless this child of God!
-ZAC's GP
Evening 10/27/09 - We just returned from the hospital and here is where things stand.
This morning they took out her intubation tube and placed the high flow nasal tubes in. They had to bump up her oxygen however this evening she was back to room air. The nurses continue to say they are amazed at how well she is doing, however they are reminding us of the bumps that are most likely to come in the coming days and weeks. [For example, she may need a transfusion because of all the blood work they are doing... and if she has PDA, patent ductus arteriosus.] This is common in all newborns, just more critical in premies as it may cause breathing difficulties.
Zoe continues to be fussy and feisty. Letting her nurses know when there is slime in her passage by dropping her stats and making faces. Which by the way she opened her eyes this morning. She only has the ability to see shadows but those eyes are definitely looking for those hands poking her and changing her diaper.
This evening Zoe had her first feeding. They rubbed a bit of milk on her mouth which she sucked and enjoyed and they placed the rest of the food down a tube into her belly. While we are there she didn't spit it up or throw up. She got fussy, but again some secretion was in her mouth and throat making it difficult to breath. It was great to see the nurse there go through the steps of suctioning her and all the other stuff to get her stats up. It was comforting to know that each small bump is completely taken care of. It will be great to see what she does through the night with her new food so her digestive system becomes active.
Phil also got to change Zoe's diaper. I haven't been brave enough to do it yet, but he was a pro. Zoe seemed to enjoy it since her stats stayed high and she didn't get too feisty. Obviously a daddy's girl.
We are continuing to pray for each day with our daughter and that her little faith and body grows.
In Christ's Mercy,
Kimberly & Phil

Kimberly & Philip--we are praying for all of you and hope you can feel the love of so many of us. Zoe is certainly in God's hands and we know He loves us all; especially the tiniest, most vulnerable ones!
All our love,
Sharon & Gentry

Thank you so much for doing this. I really appreciate knowing what is going on and being able to stay connected from so far away! Our prayers continue to be with Zoe, Kim and Phil.
Kim and Phil, What a wondrous thing is happening. When Jesus calmed the storm, the disciples said, "Who IS this?" (cracks me up). He is sustaining Zoe 24/7 through the Holy Spirit that abides in her; rest in Him as He sustains you too. He is right beside you, and He is not anxious at all. Enjoy your daughter, she is here. Love, Uncle Charles and Aunt Shelly
Kim and Phil, You are in our thoughts and prayers. We continue to pray that Zoe gets stronger. Know that she is in God's tender care. We pray also for you, Kim and Phil that God give you patience, understanding and peace knowing that God is watching over your precious little girl. Mike and Julie Hintz
God certainly is amazing
Phil, I don't know if you remember me, but we both had a mutual friend in Zach Johnson(who I chose as my mate...:) yup!). My sister Julia is a member at Christ the Lord (I think that's the name of the church.) and she sent out information about little ZAC (by the way, I know it wasn't your intention, but Zach will be tickled pink that her nickname is so close to his name!) very soon after she was born. I just saw the last name Casmer and thought, "Huh, I wonder if they're related to a Phil I once knew." When I saw Joel Jaeger had posted something else on FB with your names, I about jumped from my skin! Definitely more prayers from AZ WILL BE HEADED TO OUR DAD IN HEAVEN!!!!!!! Keeping you, the parents, also in our prayers. Your attitude is inspiring! God Bless you for that! :)
