The New Room

Zoe's new room is kinda small and reminiscent of the old room Jen and Zoe shared. Too reminiscent for me, but Jen's in a different place with it all. She says the window has a little sunlight in it and it has its own toilet and sink, so that's something.

Zoe was sleeping when I was there. They're concerned because there has been no peeing since the catheter was removed, and my completely-novice take on that is is...if it worked before, but doesn't know, how could that be something to do with the kidney? But that's what they're concerned about. Kidney function.

We're starting to talk about the realities of the next few days. We'll see where this all leads with work and school and jobs and stuff. Good things to worry about.

For Giving Thanks

Psalm 100
A psalm. For giving thanks.
1 Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.

2 Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.

3 Know that the LORD is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his [a] ;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.

5 For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

ZOE: Moving On Up

Out of the ICU to a patient room.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Hitting The Bottle

Might be time for Zoe to try some eating from the bottle. What do you think?

heart- 131 O2- 94.

She's loving the pink tedy bear ethan got for her.

Even More Tubes Out

What used to be seven different units dispensing medicines of all sorts is a single one. Zoe's got a tube giving her a very little bit of oxygen with air...she looks like a little kid lying in her bed.

This is all you guys, your love and prayer, and God's will and Zoe's determination. A confluence of beauty.

Chest Tube Out

Stats stable. They didn't even give her anything for the removal. Apparently they do it with little rampup so the kid doesn't sense something's coming. She's o2 is at 94 and she's just looking at a lighted fish toy.

Update-

1/2 hour after her energy med, it looked like Z was going to go back down to around 80 for O2, and we would have to keep reminding her to breathe strong enough not to dip down or crash. wrong! It is 4:45am and Z has had one of the greatest nights since she was born!


Heart 119
O2- 91
and hasn't gone below 80 once...

praise GOD!
