"I wash my hands in innocence, and go about your altar, O LORD, proclaiming aloud your praise and telling of all your wonderful deeds." - Psalm 26: 6-7

On her way home from work, Kim provided the ZAC update for today.

Zoe continues to do well, with her feedings increased to 11 cc/2 hrs and all IV lines, antibiotic lines and other such stuff now officially removed. The only ‘foreign tubs’ that remain are her intubation tube; which is to be removed by Friday and replaced by her CPAP, and her feeding tube which will, I am sad to say, remain in place for at least 1 more month. It seems that Zoe can either suck, breath or swallow but has yet to master the unique differences between each task (Editorial note: I have the exact same problem with chewing gum and walking… must run in the family). As for her feedings, the milk now is ‘calorie-improved’ so as to allow her to bulk up, with the goal of a ½ an ounce per day of weight gain. At current weight 1 lb, 9 oz. and 12 inches she has a ways to go.

Her breathing continues to be good and the last vestiges of the infection have now passed. The heart issue that had plagued ZAC continues to remain ‘gone’ and, with allowances for her need to grow, the only real ‘open issue’ is the blood clot. The additional scan was performed today with the results being that the clot was, “No bigger…” of course that is not the same as “The clot is gone …” thus we continue to wait, pray and trust in Him.
