Fussy, Fussy

Tuesday, December 13, 2011 9:00pm

In the past few days, Morgan has been very quiet, resting, and eating!  She had even done so well eating, that they had removed her feeding tube! 

Today, she was a little irritated and fussy.

The doctor discontinued one of Morgan's medicines yesterday and that seems to have been too much too fast.  Morgan was uncomfortable and would not eat all of her meals from the bottle, today.  As a result, the doctor re-administered the medicine.  Going forward, the doctor will wean her little by little.  Her little body needs to gradually get used to not having this particular medicine in her system.  Obviously, if she does not feel well, she is not going to eat and not going to progress.  As her weaning continues in the next few days, please pray her body will react accordingly and get used  not to having it in her system.

Amongst her fussiness, I caught Morgan smiling at me!  Her precious little smile makes my heart melt!  Everyday we get closer and closer to bringing her home! We can hardly wait!  Yet, we are anxious with anticipation and nervous about really being in charge of her care.  Please pray for us as we begin this transition in our minds and move toward bringing our little girl home!

Everyday I am reminded of the fantastic care Morgan is receiving and the loving hearts of her caregivers!  Not only do they perform their duty, they truly love Morgan.  This interest in our daughter is humbling and overwhelming!  We have been so blessed through this entire process with wonderful people who want Morgan to get better and who also care for her parents.

In your prayers, please keep Morgan's lungs, growth and development. Please pray for her body as the doctor begins to wean her from the medicine.  Also, please pray for wisdom for her caregivers.

We are grateful for such wonderful friends and family who continue to support us through this journey!

Love,
Elizabeth and Seth McCoin
