Renee, 

Thanks for replying.

I do have some questions.  Zoë came off the ventilator yesterday after 
5wks 6days.  Yeah!  But the poor little girl had her lungs collapse & was 
just pooped out today.  So, she had to go back on the vent today.  Boo!

Did Kevin ever have to go back on the vent again?  Have any parents had 
babies that had to go back on?  If so, was it for a shorter time?  Is it 
really not a major setback(like the Drs. said)?

I was so upset today.  I thought we were moving forward quickly.  Oh 
well, that's what I get for thinking;)  

We also found out she has a small hole in her heart(again the Drs said 
not to worry).  It's an ADS or a hole between her atriums.  I wonder how 
the Drs can say not to worry.  They all have kids.  I wonder if their 
kids have ever been seriously ill.  I'm just overwhelmed with worry right 
now.  

Thanks for letting me vent...  I love so much to hear about success 
stories like your Kevin.  It brings tears of joy plus reassures me that 
we can make it.

Amy
