Hi-
Well this week of appointments have Zoe and I completely worn out. Monday's eye appointment went well, her blood vessels have fully matured and the scar tissue is disappearing. This means that her eyeballs are healthy. We will not know for a while whether there is loss of the left peripheral vision since that is more to do with the brain.
The EEG on Wednesday, apart from being an hour long, was good. Zoe tolerated the electrodes being stuck to her head and once she was attached she just curled up in my arms and fell asleep. The only bad part of the visit was the confusion on the blood tests. There seemed to be a misunderstanding on what the doctor ordered versus what Zoe could give up. Four hours later we finally got started and had to listen to her very loud cries as the nurses tried to find good veins. Poor thing was poked 5 times but I was more upset and distraught than she was, Phil will be handling blood work in the future. We won't know the results for a while, once the neurologist gets them I am sure we will get a call. So we keep praying since that is all we can do.
Zoe did go on her first walk today. First time she was out of the house for leisure. The weather was too nice to pass up and bundled in her 'Moby' we took a nice 20 minute jaunt through the neighborhood. She seemed to enjoy it so much she fell asleep immediately. Well had to get it in before the fore casted snow on Saturday.

I was going to start out by saying that we are amazed and thankful for all Zoe's progress, but I would be more correct in stating that we continue to be amazed at God's blessings for Zoe. He has certainly shown His hand in Zoe's progress. A wonderful family picture and such good news on the eye doctor front. Continuing to pray for good news on all the other test results. God Bless.

What a beautiful family portrait!!! God is still answering my prayers and the prayers of everyone that Zoe is progressing, that the two of you are surviving as parents and as a couple. God is still working in all of this. He will continue. Zoe is beautiful!!!
God's continued blessings
