Zoe Visits The Doctor

Name: Zoe B
Age: 76 days
Weight: 6 pounds, 12 oz
Length: 20 inches

When Zoe was wailing, her pulse skyrocketed back to 180. Her doctor said the key is keeping her calm. Doctor said that at the 3rd or 4th month, Zoe's jaundice may return. She had problems with that early on, and it's likely it has been dormant for the past days and become a problem again. The kind of jaundice Zoe has is likely one that would require an operation to treat.

Then again, she's made it almost to 11 weeks. That's about 10 weeks longer than most baby's with non-mosaic Trisomy 18. She's alive because of her spirit, because of God's will, because of your earnest and loving prayers.

  3. Checking in on you guys and baby Zoe every day. Prayers continue for you all as I learn to slow down and really enjoy the ones I love fully. I know the Lord has big plans for Zoe's life and it sounds like keeping her close to your hearts keeps her calm. A great place for a baby to feel the love! Praying for new strength for each day to carry you through.

    Love, Laurie in Ca.
