Slow and Steady

Monday, January 16, 2012 10:00 PM

For now, no news is good news.  Morgan is staying on her path, consistent with the past two weeks.  Of course, we would like for her to progress and make steps toward coming home, but we are thankful that she is not taking any downward turns.

She continues to be awake, alert and curious.  It is such a joy to watch her.  She has so many adorable facial expressions and we reach for our cameras as each heart-string gets a tug.  I fall more in love with her with each moment.  Our nights are getting longer, as we find it harder and harder to leave the hospital.

Morgan has a ways to go before she is able to return to bottle feedings.  She could completely wow us and make this jump quickly, but is unlikely.  Remember Morgan's motto, "Slow and steady wins the race."  I can only pray that she will be as patient with me as the years pass.

We are so thankful for all of those at UAB.  While we hope that they tell of us a new "light switch" that will make our baby girl better, we can sit back and bask in their knowledge and friendship.  Please continue to pray for them, as well as Baby Morgan.

Thank you all for your continued support.
