This first week has flown by, especially as we try to get used to Zoe's schedule.
We have been busy eating, exercising, reading, tummy timing and of course sleeping. Getting this into a 24 hour schedule is tough and then throw in the doctor appointments. Whew!
Also this week, we had our first pediatrician visit. The typical check up with the added task of handing over a medical history that is over 100 pages long. We also had an MRI on Thursday. Apart from being extremely loud, Zoe did very well and did not have to be sedated for it. Nothing surprising came from the MRI, damage to her brain is still there and thankfully the left side looks normal. We see a neurologist in March to get their perspective and possibly set up an EEG.

Zoe begins in-home Occupational and Physical Therapy next week. They will asses where she is at and provide the tools to keep on track with her developmental milestones. Zoe also gets two nurse visits a week, for a measurement check and general, "How are you doing?" So far, 6lb and 3 oz., 18 inches and grunty as ever.
We are still on lock-down at home, doing our best to keep the germs and viruses to a minimum. Lots of hand washing and antibacterial goop. The average preemie emergency room visit is 3 but I would like to avoid any since we have lived at the hospital for 100 days already.
Right now we are just getting ready for Grandma Casmer's visit and a quiet weekend.

What a blessing to be home finally.
Love to you all,
