Too Soon



The plan had been to remove the intubation tube on Friday and put ZAC on the CPAP. With the dawning of Wednesday, it looked like this timeline could be advanced and that perhaps she could be free of this restriction today. She had been doing well and her CO2 levels were such as to allow the transition...

Well, according to Zoe, this was a bit too soon. After attempting the change, she decided that the 'old way' was just fine and she wasn't interesting in any more changes just now, thus back to the intubation tube.

On the feeding front, Zoe continues to be fed calorie-reinforced milk, but now caffeine is added to the food (since the IV is removed). Interesting... I have heard of milk in one's coffee but does that mean she has coffee in her milk? Ah, the trials of newborns!

Well, let's just pray for a good evening for little ZAC.

Maybe Zoe is expressing her interest in a latte at her young age. More prayers coming your way. Dave & Gayle

thank you so much, Kimberly, Philip and GP for giving us daily updates.
and Kim, please don't cry...I've been crying enough for both of us! Prayers continue heavenward. We Love you all! "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows."
2 Cor. 1:3-5
