Good News!!
Today was a great treat for the Cox family because of two reasons.
1. Baby Cox is now breathing room air with the help of a ventilator; she probably won't be off the ventilator for several more weeks, but we are rejoicing that she is now breathing air like you and me without any extra oxygen.
2. Today, Kamara and Rod were able to look into Baby Cox's eyes for the first time. Today, she opened her eyes this morning to put a joy in the hearts of her parents. She still can't open them very wide, but they are open.
Chis Clark and Tami were able to go today to the 12:00 "Touch Time". They were able to experience holding Baby Cox's hand while loving on her. Also at the 4:00 "Touch Time", I was able to experience the bliss of being with a 24 weeker. On tomorrow's update, I will share with you my experience.
Baby Cox has a name! Kamara and Rod are waiting to tell family first before they release her name to the public. You are going to fall even more in love with this little one after hearing her name. A gorgeous name for a gorgeous little one.
Last night was their first night at home in Frisco. While it was tough, Rod said it was not as rough as it could have been if everyone out there was not praying for them. He and Kamara also had a lot more time on their hands than they were used to in the last few days. This gave them a chance to sit down, pour over all of your comments on the blog, and let them set in. Rod told me today that he has very much enjoyed everyone's comments. He stated it was hard to believe that so many people were supporting them, rooting for them, and loving on them. Friends, please keep the comments up. If you don't have a blog, you can still leave a comment by clicking on the anonymous link. After leaving your comment, you can type your name in the comment section so they know who wrote it. Thank you for taking the time to write scriptures, prayers and beautiful words.
Please keep up the prayers for Baby Cox. In the middle of the night, while at at stop sign, or at the dinner table, say a quick prayer for strength and truth.
While these last two updates have not had any pictures, we will make sure to upload a few tomorrow. Thank you for your prayers for our brother and sister, and continue to beseech the Lord on Baby Cox's behalf.
In Him,

Thinking of yall all the time and lifting you guys and especially your precious youngest to the Lord. Praying for sweet Aubrey too as she adjusts to sharing her mommy and daddy with her sister. I hurt with you and Tami too because I remember so well how hard it is to watch your twin and your niece hurting and not have the power to wave a magic wand and make everything better. I'm thankful you have each other. Praying for you all during this stressful, exhausting time. God give you strength each new morning, and peace and rest at night. May you always feel His presence around you. Can't wait to hear her name! Love you so much.
I can't stop thinking about that sweet angel...I'm so ready to see her again! Love you guys and we are constantly praying!

Zack, thanks for updating us. It is a privilege to join with your family in prayer. God is GOOD!!
Love...Leslie Mida & Family
I have been checking for updates multiple times a day and lifting you guys up in prayer just as often. I can't wait to hear the name so we can pray for her by name. I'm so thankful that she is doing so well and I hope this time will pass swiftly so you can hold her in your arms and bring her home. We love you guys!!
My husband Mark and I are friends of Zack and Tami from Prestoncrest. We are due to have our baby at the same hospital as you in April. We were touring today and walked by the NICU. We thought of your family. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. We are praying for your little baby and for God's comforting hand to be upon you.
These updates are priceless! We are excited to hear the name of this little angel we continue to lift up in prayer. Kamara & Rod, this journey God has given you is a unique blessing He has prepared you for and only He can see you through! Take hold of each other and His hand today. We love y'all!

Your family is being lifted up in prayer each day . Your Tennessee brothers and sisters in Christ.
