Miss Priss Morgan

Morgan has held her own and had very quiet day!  We are thankful! 

Truly, there is not much to report.  Morgan continues to tolerate her feedings.  She is doing so well, they upped her consumption to 23 ml per feeding, every three hours. She continues to grow stronger and stronger.  Today she weighed 3 pounds 6 ounces!    She is visibly bigger.

This weekend they were able to wean her further off of the C-PAP.  She has tolerated it well and progressing forward, slowly, and, as mentioned, at her own pace.   Her settings are so low, that there is not much more they can wean.  We hope and pray that she will be weaned totally off the C-PAP, very soon!  Wouldn't that be wonderful?!?!?!?!?!

Recently, on our visits, we have really gotten to see Morgan recognize our voices.  Twice this weekend, I have gone up to her and said "Hey Morgan" and her lips curled with a smile.  I melted!  My heart sang!  I beamed from ear to ear!  I am SO ready to have her home.

Both of us got to spend time holding her this weekend!  These moments are indescribable!  Today, Seth was holding her reclined in the chair and I was laying on the couch. My mind immediately jumped to thinking and really looked forward to more Sunday afternoon's like we had today! 

Thank you to all who continue to keep, as her nurse calls her, Miss Priss Morgan in your prayers.  We continue to lift up her lung development, her feedings and her overall health.  We are prayerful she will get off the C-PAP soon and be prong-free!  What a day that will be!  Please keep her caregivers in your prayers. They are our angels! 

Love,
Elizabeth and Seth McCoin
