Tomorrow is the big day

Tomorrow is Zoë's big day. She is having her surgery. Today we talked to the surgeon and she gave us the run down. They already started to prep her today. She got another central line put in. This will be for her IV fluids. Her feedings have stopped and wont start up again until 5 to 7 days. They will be giving her nutrients through the IV, just like when she was first born. The surgery will start around 10a. It will take about 2-3 hours.

Zoë is now 6 lbs 2 ozs. We wanted her to be over 6 lbs before the surgery, so we are very happy that she is so chunky. We have all gotten settled in with the new nurses. Everyone is really nice here. We have even seen some old friends from the McDowell campus. :)

We will keep everyone posted through the blog on what is going on. I will be spending the night with Zoë tonight so that she wont be alone before the surgery.

Thanks for everyone's prayers
