Big Blue Eyes

Morgan has had a good day.  Honestly, there is not much to report.

Morgan continues to be on the C-PAP machine and holding steady.  She did have one "episode" last night where her stats went down and they, therefore, had to turn up a few settings a little to help her out. This is very typical of a premature babies her age.  Our prayer is that she will continue to become less dependant on the C-PAP and the doctors can wean her off it.  As mentioned, this is a very slow process.  Sometimes patience is a very hard thing to have!

Her feedings continue to go well.  She is eating every 3 hours.  Someone brought it to our attention that we had not given her weight in a while.  Morgan weighs 2 pounds 14 ounces.  She lost her fluid weight and now this is an accurate weight.  She continues to grow and this weight provides the strength she needs to heal. 

During our visits today, Morgan was resting well and looked extremely comfortable!  She was kicking her legs and waving her arms.  Her big blue eyes would open wide, gaze at us and speak to our hearts.  Priceless moments.  She is, also, recognizing our voices.  That little girl is so special to us!

Please continue to pray for 1) Morgan's lungs, 2) her overall health, 3) against infections, and 4) the doctors and nurses taking care of her.  We are blessed to live in a city that has the best hospital for neonatal lung care in the country.  We know, without a doubt, in Morgan's eight weeks, she has received the best care!

Love,
Elizabeth and Seth McCoin
