Setback

Monday, January 2, 2012 9:50 pm

Well, little Morgan gave us quite a scare this morning.  We woke up to find out that Morgan has returned to the C-PAP.  The reason is because she is unable to fully exhale the carbon dioxide in her lungs.  There was so much carbon dioxide in her that at the time the decision was made to put her back on the C-PAP, her carbon dioxide levels were, literally, off the charts.  The testing machine was unable to read the amount. 

Since that time, she has slowly crept back to a reasonable range.  We pray that this stint on the C-PAP will be short and a return to the nasal cannula will be sooner, rather than later.

Of course, this is a setback.  We do not like to report this kind of news, but it simply goes with the territory. 

Please pray for Morgan to get stronger and to not need as much assistance as she is currently requiring.  We will also be lifting up prayers of thanksgiving for the doctors and nurses and UAB who continue to give our daughter such wonderful care.
