Little Princess Update

Zion is now a big 3pd 10ozs. When I saw her on Friday she looked like a new baby girl. She has fat on her thighs and she doesn't have a neck, she is getting so big and developing amazingly well. Each day I'm at home going through the hustle and bustle I think about all the little things I'm missing but Zion will be home really soon and then I can spend all the time I want with her. The doctor rounded Saturday morning and said that when she is around 4 1/2 pounds she will be able to go to a crib so she can learn how to keep her body tempature up. I am so amazed at God's handy work when I see her. He gave my husband and I a sneak peak at his marvelous work.

Update for My Little Princess

Zion is doing well. I spoke with her nurse this morning and she is 3pds 5oz. She is now up to 30ccs of feeding. She had her second bottle on Tuesday and took all 30ccs from her bottle. She will now take a bottle once a week because of her age (32 weeks gestation and 7 weeks old). Her feeding tube has been taken out of her mouth and is now in her nose because of her weekly bottle feeds. I will keep the blog updated as much as possible but if you don't see any updated posts just know she is doing well. Thanks for your prayers

ZION REACHED THE THREE POUND MARK!

GOD IS SO GOOD! WE WILL CONTINUALLY PRAISE HIS NAME. ZION HAS REACHED THE THREE POUND MARK. SHE IS EXACTLY THREE POUNDS AND TWO OUNCES. ZION ALSO RECEIVED FORMULA FROM A BOTTLE FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY!! SHE WAS ABLE TO SUCK 10CC FROM HER BOTTLE.


THE DOCTORS SEE NO PROBLEM WITH GAINING THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT IN ORDER TO COME HOME BUT THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES. ZION SEEMS TO LOSE BODY TEMPERTURE WHEN REMOVED FROM THE INCUBERATOR AND ALSO HER HEART RATE DROPS.

SO, WE ARE STILL ASKING FOR PRAY THAT THOSE ISSUES CLEAR UP AND SHE WILL BE ON HER WAY HOME. THE SUCKING OF FORMULA FROM HER BOTTLE ALSO MUST BE AT A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF OUNCES PER FEEDING.

SHE IS STILL BEING FED EVERY THREE HOURS AND TOLERATING THE INCREASE IN FORMULA. WE WILL CONTINUE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS UNTIL GOD SAYS NOW IS THE TIME FOR YOU(ZION) TO BE AT HOME WITH YOUR FAMILY.
GRANNY LOVE YOU!

SWEET ,SWEET ZION

Just a few words to my sweet,sweet granddaughter Zion. Can't wait until you come home. Zion is currently weighing two pounds and thirteen ounces slowly approaching the three pound mark.

She is progressing and looking so big! Her little cheeks are so full,but mom said that it is "fat pockets." I don't know what it is but she looks so cute with fat cheeks.

In her pictures she look very alert of her surroundings. There isn't much to say today about progress, except that everything looks really good. We thank God everyday for his mercy and grace.

SWEET BABY ZION

God is SO! SO! GOOD! Zion is doing great . She is weighing two ponund and seven ounces and gaining. Zion is able to breath on her on and can tolerate her formula without much left undigested. The doctors stated that if she continues to gain weight at this rate she might be able to come home at four pounds.

She is such a Miracle in our life and God knew just when to bring her into the Earth. We thank HIm for being all knowing. There isn't much news to add but that Zion is on her way to a full recovery. Pray that she will stop pulling out her feeding tube. She is so busy that her little hand get caught in the cord and up comes the tube.

Baby Zion Striving On

Zion strive on! Zion currently has lost a few ounces . Her last weigh in was one pound and fifteen ounces. We expect progress and regress but the outcome is WE WIN! The doctors decided to change her formula to something different. The new formula has more protein in order to help her gain weigh and hopeful maintain it.

Zion is very active which contributes to some of her weigh lost. She is doing fine in spite of the weigh lost. God has already predetermined her destiny and she is somebody in Christ.
Continue to pray for the Reed family so that they all will soon be together as a family.

Zion A Miracle in the Making

Zion is continuing to gain weight and strength. She is weighing over two pounds now and digesting all 18cc of formula without any undigested formula left. Zion is fed every three hours and she can't seem to wait for her feeding.

We as a family had to really truth in God and not just say we do. There is always a reason for everything that happens in this journey called life. GOD is our main source and not our own strength.

He said to Cast All Our Cares Upon Him and that is what we did. I personally would like to thank everyone for there prayers and support.

GOD HAS THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS!!!
