Time Out Chair

Mischievous Morgan needs a Time-Out Chair!  Is she too young for spankings?  My my, that little one!  If she weren't so stinkin' cute....

Morgan continues to be on the C-PAP.   Just when you think she is resting and recovering and about to come off the C-PAP she pulls one of her stunts.  Morgan has found various ways to pull her tricks.  She will pull the C-PAP off her face.  She will fuss and hold her breath.  She pull out her iv.  She will pull out her feeding tube.  She pitches a royal fit.  She is just being a bad little girl!  She needs a spanking!

Overall, despite being on the C-PAP the doctor is very pleased with her.  Obviously we would all prefer to be off the C-PAP.  She is currently on very low settings and tolerating it well.  They did turn the nitric oxide back on.  During one of her stunts last night, she indicated she might need it.    While we realize that at any given moment Morgan's condition could worsen, the doctor has encouraged us by saying that this just part of her lung condition.  This is one of the flare up moments discussed in the previous post.  During these flare ups, the team does everything possible to try to support Morgan as she weathers through it.

While she has been a little trouble maker, she has found very sweet ways to let us know she loves us.    I had my hand on her chest lightly tapping her while I was talking to her.  Suddenly, Morgan brought both her hands together on the back of mine as if to hug my hand.  She held her hands together for several moments and loved on me.  I could have lived in that moment forever!

We continue to pray for the healing of her lungs and the return to the nasal cannula.  We pray for a quick recovery.  We pray against any infection or other issues.  We pray for rest and quietness.  We pray against the devil filling our minds with doubt.  We pray for complete healing of her little body.

Thank you all for your words of encouragement and support! 

Love,
Elizabeth and Seth McCoin
