Yesterday she decided to take to the bottle again, which is of course, a great thing. The only down turn of events is that in order to regain this past milestone, she still needs the assistance of the canula for breathing. We tried doing both unassisted breathing and the bottle and that didn't work out as hoped... but maybe soon we can get her weaned off of the canula. Heck, she has come so far already! For now however, the bottle and the canula are a set.
In light of this 'hiccup', no official take home date has/can be been set, since the feeding has kind of delayed things... but we hope here too for that day to come soon. In the meantime I have been staying at the hospital many more hours per day, for the past few days, just trying to be more involved in her feedings and therapy. I must say that it has been great fun being around her more. A gal could get used to doing this full time!
Well, gotta run. I have 'mothering' to do.

Kimberly, I hope you can take her home soon. She looks so good and I can see you in her when I look at her little face. Karen T
You know, if you take into consideration that Zoe is still really "under age", she is doing extremely well. She will get back to the feeding & breathing together in time. We will keep praying that it comes sooner than later. Enjoy your mothering time. God Bless. Dave & Gayle
I think Zoe has made tremendous progress, maybe it isn't consistent yet but give her time - she's still learning and so very young.
Plus Zoe has tremendous, loving parents. What more could she ask for? Keep enjoying the time with her - she"s so-o cute in pictures, can imagine how cuddly and sweet she is in real life.
You have a beautiful little girl!! Praise God! Please tell Jeff and Shebna that MRB says "Hi".
Zoe, this is Pat Kuhn again, I hear that Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Shebna are going to be with you this weekend. That is great. Know that the prayers continue so hard and so strong that you will be having that bottle without the breathing device. I pray you will be strong enough and have the weight gain, so that you will be home shortly with your loving Mommy and Daddy.
