Loving the Rocking Chair

Morgan continues to hold her course today.  We are so proud of her progress and pray she continues to move forward. 

While she remains on the nasal cannula, her levels have fluctuated today.  This is not alarming to the doctors.   They are encouraged that she has made it this long on the nasal cannula and feel that this is great progress forward. However, it is very important that she stabilizes these numbers.  The risk if she cannot stabilize is that she may end back up on the C-PAP.   We are not at that point, today, and I pray we do not get to that point.  Please pray that her numbers stabilize, her breathing continues to become easier, and that her lungs heal.  They are all critical points to her coming home. 

The physical therapist spoke with me today.  She was very pleased with Morgan's posture, her movements, her muscle tone and her disposition. She feels Morgan is doing very well.  This therapy will continue throughout her stay at UAB. 

Morgan's feedings continue to go well and she continues to grow. She is resting very well.  Morgan has already figured out how to get the nurses to rock her.  Morgan even got one nurse to hold and rock her for an hour and half last night while she slept!  I am afraid that Morgan is learning that she loves to be held all the time!  I hope the nurses are prepared to come home with us!

Please continue to pray for Morgan's overall health and for those who take care of her.  We are blessed with great care!

She is now 10 week old.  When we look back over the last 10 weeks, it is hard to imagine how far she has come.  The fight this little girl has in her is amazing! She is a miracle!

Thank you for your love, support and prayers!  We are so humbled that you care so much about us and our daughter!

Love,
Elizabeth and Seth McCoin
