Happy, Hungry, Fussy, and Not Sleepy!

Happy Friday!  Our little Morgan continues down the same track she has been on for several days now.  She has been happy, hungry, fussy and not sleepy! 

Morgan loves to eat from a bottle!  And, I mean LOVES it!  She cries when the bottle is empty.   Bless her heart; she takes after her parents who do not like to miss a meal!  She is eating from a bottle twice a day now.  At last weigh-in, she weighed 9 pounds 13 ounces. 

Morgan continues to tolerate the oxygen wean that was done on Tuesday.  However, I believe this wean was harder for to tolerate than previous weans. She has fluctuated more on her oxygen this week, even, at times, borderline needing her liters turned back up.  Some of that is due to fussiness and some of that is due to her lungs having to work harder.  As a result, the doctor is not going to wean the medicines for a few days to try to give her lungs a chance to recover and adapt.  If anything, they will give a medicine back to see if helps.  We do not want to change too much too fast and go backwards.  Remember, baby steps.

As you remember Morgan in your prayers, please pray specifically for lungs to adapt to this new oxygen level.  Please also pray for her growth, development, healing, eating, and rest!  Morgan needs a few nights of good, good rest.  Sleep also allows her lungs to grow new tissue. 

I ask for prayers for Seth.  He is in the home stretch of tax season.  Tuesday is in sight!  He is beyond exhausted and running adrenaline.  Seth is working long hours and sleeping few hours. 

Thank you for your love and support for us all!

Love,
Elizabeth and Seth McCoin
