Morning Report

March 9, 2012 8:30am

Morgan is still on the C-PAP machine this morning.  Morgan rested last night and was able to let the C-PAP work for her.  Our immediate prayer requests are for continued rest and for her CO2 levels to decrease. 

Morgan hates the C-PAP and the prongs in her nose.  She fights it and gets herself worked up.  They are trying to keep her slightly sedated so that machine can work and blow the CO2 off of her lungs.  At one point yesterday she was fighting it so much that they threatened to intubate her to make her calm down.  This is why rest is so urgent, we do not want her to be re-intubated! 

They will continue to monitor her CO2 and as soon as it is in an acceptable range, they will put her back on the nasal cannula.   We look forward to her being on the nasal cannula and seeing our happy, interactive daughter! 

We are thankful for her caring, concerned and loving team of doctors and nurses.  They are cheering for her as much as we are.  They are genuine and really love Morgan.  That is obvious! 

Thank you for your prayers and support!

Love,
Elizabeth and Seth McCoin

  1. Sweet Morgan -- we are praying for you, little one! We lift you up and ask our Father to give you rest, and to continue to bring strength to your body and your lungs. We are also praying for your dear parents, that they might be comforted and supported -- we love the McCoin family! ashley, alex, and belen
