Hello all,

Apart from the whole clot thing, yesterday went really well for Zoe. She has been 'pooping' on her own on a regular basis (the things we take enjoyment in!), her occupational therapist says she is handling her exercises well, and she has been doing well O2 wise - 21%-27%!

She also had another bath and she is now up to 10CCs of food every three hours. Only 3 more CCs and she will be on full feeds. She is also now off of TPN (that's the the vitamin filled IV) and only is getting lipids and glucose via IV. Once she hits the 13 cc-per-day mark they will also remove the line from her skin, thus decreasing her chances for an infection.

Alas, she had another transfusion yesterday... but it went well and she now has a new line in her foot for both transfusions and her caffeine. When we went to visit her last evening, she was pretty tired out from the days events so she slept on Phil's chest for a good hour and a half.

Sunday should be a fairly quiet day, with the next ultrasound for her brain scheduled for Tuesday. They are also measuring her head every night for any swelling and tracking any consistent and drastic increases in a short amount of time.

We are still praying that the clot either make its way along or slowly disintegrates, but time will tell what will happen.

Thanks for the prayers and words of encouragement(and please have them continue).

Kimberly
