Happy Nurses Week

Tuesday, May 8, 2012  10:00pm

Morgan would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of her nurses! She says Happy Nurses Week!  She wants them to realize her appreciation for all they do for her. She absolutely loves them! Seth and I are thankful to have such a wonderful care team of nurses who truly adore our daughter and care for all three of us! They have certainly made this journey bearable! We love them all dearly and consider them family! Thank you, from the bottom of all three of our hearts, friends! Thank you!

I am happy to report that there is not much to report on Morgan today.  She held her course and did not have any cause for concern.  The doctor has told us that he likes for her to have days like today.   He has explained to Seth and me that  days like these are good.  Ultimately, she is healing and improving. The changes are subtle and not as obvious as they once were. 

Recently, Morgan has gotten a deep cough.  The doctor seems to think it is coming from her stomach.  Nonetheless, it aggravates her, sometimes even causing short breaths.  At this time, there is not really a treatment for it.  Please pray this will go away. 

Her glucose continues to fluctuate, albeit, not as much as it has in the past.  We hope that this is due to the wean of her steroids.  Seth and I would like her off the steroids asap.  We realize we are not doctors and Morgan's doctor is weaning at the appropriate pace.  Please pray for her body as it weans from the medicines and learns to function without them. 

Oxygen wise, Morgan has been on the same liter flow for weeks now.  There is an occasional increase if she is upset, but then the nurse is able to bring it back down.  The doctor is holding her on this particular liter flow in order to wean and decrease other medicines. 

We are humbled daily by our friends and family who constantly support Seth and me.  Thank you for your love, friendship and support.  We realize there are even blog followers and friends who do not know us but have prayed and loved for our family.  Thank you for your continued prayers for our daughter's healing and her parents.  This road is long but we find rest that our Lord is in control and healing our daughter!

Love,
Elizabeth and Seth McCoin
