All,
Today Zoe got her first tub bath! The nurses took out her CPAP, and gave her a nasal cannula (a nose breathing thing) to take her out of her isolette (her little, clear plastic room). She seemed to enjoy bath time once she realized what was going on, she especially enjoyed sitting in the warm tub.
We have also now heard Zoe cry, they are pretty small cries compared to larger babies, but pretty beautiful noises to our ears nonetheless.
The doctor feel Zoe is doing well, especially since they modified her feedings to every two hours and she is still tolerating the CPAP well… room air to 24%. They modified her vent settings to allow her to do more work and this evening they are going to try and go back to 3 hour feedings. We are a bit apprehensive, but the doctor feels that now she has had a few days to get used to the CPAP she may be ready for the next step.
We continue to pray that Zoe and all the other babies in the NICU continue to do well as we celebrate our Savior's birth.
