Morgan is still struggling to recover from her days off of the ventilator(s). She returned to the high-frequency ventilator today. Yesterday, she maintained the conventional ventilator, but it just didn't seem to provide her with the proper assistance. Tonight, Morgan has been having trouble and we are waiting for our sweet baby to bounce back.
Further, her heart continues to be problematic. As I explained yesterday, her lungs and her heart need to work in unison in order to circulate the appropriate balance of oxygen through her blood to the rest of her little body. There is a perfect, scaling balance that we have not been able to find for her yet. She is still receiving medicine to find her sweet spot so that the balance is found.
Her lungs and her heart remain our to most critical prayer points. Other prayer points continue to be 1) her brain's development, 2) that her suspended feedings will be able to recommence soon, 3) that she does not accumulate any infections in her body and 4) that there are no hidden, negative ramifications from her current struggle. Also, continue to pray for those taking such wonderful care of our daughter. As blessed and gracious as we are, we could never thank them enough.
Likewise, we could never repay the prayers that have been lifted in Morgan's name. As of today, this blog has received more than 10,000 hits from 5 continents and 10 countries. We certainly are in awe of God's provisions for us.

Wow you guys. I got chills, or I should say God-bumps, when I read how many hits and how far this blog has reached. It reminds me how big our God is and how we just never know all that He is doing through our circumstances. I watched a movie recently entitled "Love's enduring promise" in which it talks about how "love's enduring promise" is God's promise that one day we will no longer see pain and suffering and hurt and all the broken things in this fallen world. And I was so encouraged by this. It's something we don't give thought to often enough. In Praying for Morgan I am reminded of God's enduring promise because of His love for us. I pray you are encouraged by this as well. And just think, Houston already knows God's enduring promise! Praise God
