Not Much Action, But More Progress

Thursday, September 22, 2011 10:45 pm

Not much changed today, but today was a busy day for Morgan. She spent almost six hours on the traditional ventilator. Way to go Morgan! She wore her sweet little self out and returned the high-frequency ventilator, late this afternoon, but the progress was noted. Her lungs are getting stronger, but it is hard for parents to watch their daughter struggle in recovery after such a big step. She still lacks the appropriate lung development to breathe on her own, however, we are pleased with her fight and progression toward health. Her lungs are still very sick and we pray that they grow stronger and stronger with each attempt of weening her away from assistance.

There is still no sign of infection in Morgan's body. We are so pleased and hope that this continues. The doctor will continue to watch and pay close attention to this aspect for at least another week. Morgan continues her medication to fight any present infection that may not be noticable at this time.

Our prayer points, for Morgan, are consistant with the past few days and we ask, again, that you continue to pray for the doctors, nurses and all of those taking care of Morgan.

The wiggle worm continues to amaze us. I was pleased to receive pictures, via texts, from Elizabeth that proved that our Morgan may, one day, be the finest gymnest to grace our world. The positions that this little contortionist can place herself in is beyond the imagination. She is so delightful to watch and we cherish our moments with her.

Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.
