Morgan's weekend has been up and down. While she is still on the nasal cannula, the doctor has threatened to put her back on the C-PAP.
Yesterday, Morgan was extremely fussy and couldn't find rest. Nor, could she get a really deep, good breath. In turn her CO2 levels began to rise. As happened earlier in the week, if her CO2 levels get too high, she will have to go on the C-PAP to help exhale it from her little body. Her team of nurses have taken extra efforts to keep her calm and relaxed. Their efforts seemed to have worked because her levels were improving. The nurses are spoiling her by holding and rocking her, all the time!
Today, Morgan looked liked she felt better. While they are still very aware of her levels, the nurses felt she was resting better and a little more comfortable. They continue to monitor her and we hope she is moving forward. Please join us in prayer as we pray for her lungs, their healing and her progress forward.
At this time, Morgan is not eating by bottle. The doctor wants to try to get her breathing under better control before trying to feed her again.
Morgan had a very special visitor today. Cousin Catherine McCoin! Morgan's new room is very close to the entrance of the NICU. The rule is that no children are allowed in the NICU unless they are a sibling of the baby. Well, Aunt Elizabeth and Uncle Seth pulled a few strings. We convinced a nurse to let Catherine, our 4-year old niece from Nashville, to peak in at Morgan through the glass door! Catherine has been writing letters, coloring pictures, and making things for Morgan since she was born. Words cannot describe the look on Catherine's face when she saw Cousin Morgan for the first time! Sheer excitement and joy! I must say there were not any dry eyes in Morgan's room. Morgan opened her little eyes and reached her hands towards Catherine, as if to say "HI"! Before Catherine left to go home, she told me that visiting Morgan has the highlight of her day! Precious!
Thank you for your continued love and support!
Love,
Elizabeth and Seth McCoin
