Good Weekend, Slight Nervousness...and a Nap

Monday, February 6, 2012 8:00 PM

Our little "Simple Gift" had a good weekend.  She slowly tip-toed down on her oxygen dependency.  She seemed extremely comfortable and alert, all weekend.  One reason may have been because she is starting to get used to all of this.  How do we know?  Well, Saturday was her 150th day with us!  And do you think we could let that go by without a party?  We took cupcakes to the hospital and even shared some chocolate icing with sweet Morgan.  She seemed to really enjoy it as she licked and chomped the chocolate from her lips.  Just like most girls, this one is going to love chocolate for a long time...

Yesterday, we went to give Morgan a bath.  We like to be there when this happens because we are assured that she will be awake and alert for an extended period of time.  She is getting so big and you can certainly tell each time you "skin the cat!"  She tends to be fussy in the water until her hair gets washed with a little brush that must tickle like crazy.  At that point, she calms down and goes into a daze.  It's an absolute riot to watch.  Fussy to totally chilled out, faster than a light switch!

While the weekend went well, last night, Morgan seemed to be uncomfortable and couldn't find her "sweet spot."  Her oxygen dependency went back up and, this morning, we found out that she had a slight fever.  Of course, it's worrisome to hear, but it could be so many benign things.  As of this evening, her temperature had subsided by the slightest and we are hopeful that this trend will continue.

After work, I went to the hospital to see my precious girl.  As I walked into the room, I could tell that we were both exhausted, so the only thing I could think to do was this:

Thank you all for continuing to pray for Morgan and all those taking care of her.  Believe us when we tell you that she continues to grow bigger, stronger and, most definitely, cuter.
