Our precious Morgan has had a good few days. While last week was smooth sailing, over the weekend Morgan began to get a little fussy and ultimately require more oxygen assistance. That trend continued today. The doctor has ruled out infections. The only flag was that her potassium was elevated. They have adjusted several of her medications to try to find the right concoction to help Morgan improve. This evening her potassium had returned to normal levels. Over night we are prayerful that this new combination of medicines will help her and ultimately reduce her oxygen dependency. Tonight she looked much better than she did at lunch, which can only mean she feels better. 

Morgan's diaper rash continues to heal.  A new approach to helping it heal was begun today.  It will take several days to know for sure, but we are really hopeful this works and we can get it cleared up soon!

We are thankful for the nurses who love Morgan and are on top of her care. They take wonderful care of her and us.

Morgan is much more alert. She looks at you when you are talking and really engages you.  It is really fun to watch her when she is so attune to her surroundings.  Her big brown eyes and long eye lashes are captivating. 

Thank you for your continued prayer for her healing, the nurses and doctors, and for us.  We are thankful!

Love,
Elizabeth and Seth McCoin
