Hi all!

I just wanted to share my joy with you-I finally got to hold my daughter 
today for the first time.  Zoë was born on May 9, 1996.  She has turned 
around & made significant progress.  She is on a conventional ventilator 
& is up to 3+ lbs.  The Dr's also said she is over her yeast infection 
causing the pneumonia and the neumocoxis(spelling?) infection in her 
lungs!

I also  wanted to thank all of you for your kind thoughts and advice 
after I sent our introduction last week.  Although I'm not able to give 
much advice to other parents, reading all the e-mail has helped me stay 
very positive.

Thank you again for your kind words.  I will keep all of you in my 
thoughts and prayers!

Amy(wife of Kyle, Mommy to Zoë(5/9/96) 1lb 12oz)
