Little Morgan continues to be her diva self! Surprise, Surprise!
Last Friday she stayed on the C-PAP as a preventative measure because she had high temperatures. A side effect of her lung condition, BPD, is fevers. While the team is convinced that was all it was, they left her on the C-PAP to prevent her stressing her lungs out.
Early
Saturday morning, Miss Morgan was back on the high flow nasal cannula! She was a relaxed and happy girl all day
long. She swung, played a little and
watched her dvds. She took a long
afternoon nap in my arms and rested.
Morgan spent much of Sunday similar to Saturday. She was content. We did a few exercised on the beach ball and she fell asleep while being rolled around. However, at various times of the day she was having trouble keeping her oxygen saturations in the appropriate level. With a little encouragement she was able to get her saturations back to normal and continue on.
The first thing I do when I get up each morning is call and check on Morgan. This morning presented good and bad news. The good news is her temperatures and glucose levels were fine all night long. The bad news was she was on back on C-PAP. Early this morning, around 6:00am, Morgan began to work harder to breathe and therefore her saturations would not stay up. The doctor decided it would be best to put on the C-PAP and assist her.
It
is likely Morgan will be on the C-PAP through tomorrow to let her lungs rest
and her body relax. While she hates the headgear
and the stuff on her nose. However, she was so calm at in the afternoon that one therapist
asked if she was sedated… nope, she was resting, for the moment!
Tonight, Morgan was feisty and back up to her old antics. The C-PAP equipment began to bother her. She worked herself up into a tizzy and her breathing became labored. She was not happy. With some encouragement and help, Morgan was able to settle down and let the machine work. We hope she will settle and rest all night long.
Please join us in praying for Morgan. We are praying for rest and sound sleep. We are praying for good, deep breaths. We are praying for healing of her lungs. We are praying that she will become stronger. We pray for the Breath of Life to be breathed into her little body and heal her. We know our God hears our prayers and is healing Morgan.
Seth and I hate seeing Morgan like this. We hate to see her little body fighting so hard and courageously. To be honest, we are fearful of her getting worse or being put back on the ventilator, so we pray against it. The emotional roller coaster is very hard. I ask for selfish prayers for us both, too.
Thank you for all of your support!
Love,
Elizabeth and Seth McCoin
