Morgan’s
day has been very active. She is very
happy. She has played merry-go-round
around her room moving from activity to activity. She was looked at herself in the mirror during
tummy time and swatted at the stuffed elephant while swinging. While sitting in the high chair, she watched the "laugh and learn puppy" dance and sing before her. Morgan had a great day.
Morgan’s physical
therapist came to visit Morgan today.
Morgan was absolutely content and did wonderful during her session. The therapist showed me several more things I
could do with Morgan to help with her body awareness and posture. She is very pleased with Morgan’s progress.
Morgan is a little stiff, but they call that “preemie-stiffness”. This stiffness is nothing out of the ordinary
for someone born at 26 weeks 5 days. She
is very appropriate for her adjusted age, given she is a preemie. Please pray that Morgan will still continue
to develop her muscle tones and gain strength.
These things will help decrease her stiffness.
Morgan
weighs 9 pounds 3 ounces today. She is a
cute chunky monkey! She is growing, and
that is what the pulmonologist wants to her to do. Growth helps her body develop new lung tissue.
I love
gazing into Morgan’s big brown eyes and talking to her. Her eyelashes are captivating and she is so
fun to just love on.
Morgan lungs need to continue to mature and develop. Please pray for their growth and strength. Each day without an infection or a setback is an answer to prayer. We pray for many more days like the last few weeks. The doctors are really impressed with her progress and want to continue to encourage her to keep it up!
Shhhh- Don't tell Morgan, but they turned down her oxygen dependency, again, today. I covered her little ears as I learned about this from the nurse! :) She has done very well with this adjustment. We are prayerful she can continue to progress forward and tolerate this change.
Seth is the throws of tax season. Please continue to keep him your prayers. He needs focus at work and rest at home. He is so torn between seeing his little girl and having to work. He is exhausted. I know he would not ask for prayers, because he is too humble, but I am asking for him! J I love you, Seth!
Thanks for all your support for us all!
Love,
Elizabeth
and Seth McCoin
