Morgan would like to, first, wish her grandmother happy birthday! She doesn't know what she's going to call her yet, so we'll all just say, "Happy Birthday, Augusta!"
My precious Morgan had another uneventful day. She continues to rest calmly with no real action. She had a new nurse this evening that referred to her as, "fiesty." Well, hang on sweet nurse, you're just getting to know her! She was wiggly, pulled her feeding tube out and acted up when her nurse tried to take her temperature. Sounds like my girl and everything is just fine!
Today was her last day of weaning off of her steroids. Her settings went up a little, but we are hopeful that she will calm down and come off of the elevated support very soon. Elizabeth and I agreed that she appeared a little "puffy" tonight and this would be a result of some fluid building up, but the medical attendants are on top of it and will keep their watchful eyes on her growing body. Being November, Morgan has provided me the excuse of saying that I am, simply, "temporarily puffy," after a large meal on a certain Thursday. I encourage you all to take after Morgan and me using the same excuse that day!
Morgan has put together a string of very successful days. We are timid to believe that this will continue, as we realize she is still fighting a great battle. She may come through with flying colors and never hit a speed bump, but it feels like the speed bumps are inevitable. We are holding our breath, constantly praying and cheering for our daughter from the top of every mountain.
Please continue praying for our daughter and for those taking care of her and making decisions. We continue to make this request, knowing that any of our attempts to repay any of you will be futile. Morgan received 16 beautiful emails today from her "fan club." We are gracious and encourage more! Simply put, we thank you, all, from the bottom of our undeserving hearts.
Seth and Elizabeth McCoin
