10 Days old!!!

Quite the day for Zoey & the Roberts.  Sally's Aunt Jan, Uncle Billy & their kid Ryan came down in the morning from up north of the cities.  We had a great time introducing Zoey to them & had a nice sit down lunch with them, which was much appreciated & great to get out of the NICU & have a conversation with someone other than the doctors & nurses!  As soon as lunch was over my Uncle Andy & Aunt Stacy, their kids Grant & Dylan, & my grandma Carol came down from northern Wisconsin & spent a nice afternoon meeting Zoey, relaxing in the family room, & going back to the Ronald McDonald House to spend a bit more time together before they headed back.  It was great to see family & spend some QT with everyone.  These days get long of back & forth & the mental exhaustion that goes along with it.  As for Zoey, C-Pap was a success!  As of this writing she's been on c-pap for approximately a little over 7 hours & her levels are all normal & the nurses/docs are pleased.  This is the progression she needs to make & is doing well so far.  Mom & Dad are pretty stoked all things considered. Almost forgot!  I got to change her diaper today, it wasn't always the most smooth or coordinated effort as I felt like I was going to throw her out of the tube with how little effort it was to pick her up.  Essentially got the job done though!  A little concerning is her central venus catheter as of the moment, as her blood out isn't able to be drawn as of the moment, however her food/nutrients/supplements/etc going in are doing good, which is the most beneficial side of the catheter.  Guess we get to wait & see if it needs to be adjusted, moved, taken out, or whatever to get it functional again.  All in all, great day so far.  More family & friends coming down tomorrow.
