Much Improved

We wanted to give a midday update and ask for prayer.

Elizabeth went to see Morgan at lunch and learned that her stats improved this morning. In fact, they have improved so much, that the doctor wants to try her out on the nasal C-PAP again this afternoon. This is great news and would not be attempted had Morgan not improved so much after the past few days. We have no idea how long her little body will tolerate this, but we are pleased that she is well enough to attempt it. Our dream would be that she would not have to return to the ventilator, but we must be cautious and thankful for her current status.

Elizabeth also learned that her feedings have been suspended. We are not sure when she will be able to tolerate milk again, but she is currently receiving nutrition through an iv. Her digestive system is just as critical as her lungs and we are anxious to push her along.

Again, thank you for your thoughts and prayers and, please, always include the wonderful people at St. Vincent's that are caring for us and our daughter.

Seth and Elizabeth McCoin
