A Trivia Question

Riddle me this…”Who weighs four pounds and is painfully adorable?”

Well… the answer is ZAC – a.k.a Zoe Ann Casmer, who managed to hit the 4 lb milestone last night or as Kim so eloquently put it, “She is getting so big and all her cheeks are chubby!”

So what are the long range plans for Zoe, based on her achievement of this milestone? Well, the plan is that in a week or so she is to be moved to an open crib! She will still be monitored to ensure she can maintain body temperature, heart rate, breathing and such, but the constraints of the plastic box will be gone.

As for her feeding, Zoe is continues to do well with her nipple feedings and she has now graduated to bottle feedings twice a day. She is also being weaned off of her caffeine and air support over the next couple of weeks to see if she can "fly solo".

We are praying that the past few days will be a good indication that it will be successful and we invite all of you to join us in our prayers of thanks and praise for what He has done as well as our entreaties for His continued blessings on this child.

Love the news about hitting the big 4.0#! Wasn't all that excited about the other news re: "being weaned off of her caffeine"... that's difficult for all of us! Love, Uncle Mark =:^)
