Zoey was born in Loveland but 6 hours after birth she was transferred by an ambulance from Children's Hospital in Denver to a hospital in Fort Collins. Her lungs were filled with fluid and she stopped breathing 5 minutes after she was born. Oxygen would not make her lungs work properly so she was moved so she could be put on a ventilator. She probably has another 2 weeks or so in the hospital.
This is the only picture we have of Zoey when she was less than
one day old. It could break my heart but we all know she will not
remember any of this. Her face is badly bruised so her color is odd.
But the rest of her is now nice baby pink.
She can only be held every six hours. Any more than that overstimulates her. If I told you all that these parents have been told you would not believe me. We find it to be complete horse feathers, if you get my drift. However, the doctors are in charge and we have to obey. But when we get that critter home we will wear her out by holding her so much. Hannah will not be ignored, but then you know that. So, our family has grown by one more little girl. If she provides the joy Hannah has provided, we will certainly have double the joy. Zoey is not out of the woods, so prayers would be appreciated. By the way, Zoey means "life" in Greek. That has to mean we are going to win this battle.
