Wrong Side of the Bed

Wednesday, May 02, 2012  9:15pm

Our little princess woke up on the wrong side of the bed! After a good night’s rest, Morgan woke up early and woke up fussy!  She was so upset that she worked up herself up into a sweat.  Maybe she just wanted to be naked, because that is what she earned when she got hot and sweaty! 

Due to her fussiness, Morgan strained her lungs and took shorter breaths.  This of course, made her more and more cranky!  The respiratory therapist gave her a breathing treatment.  What she needed next was rest.  But, Her Feisty Highness said she was not going to take nap and fussed all morning long.  Later in the afternoon Morgan was able to finally calm down and go to sleep.  Thanks to her nap, she was able to get good breaths and relax!  Since then, she has been calm and happy.

As Seth mentioned, Morgan’s is still battling glucose issues, although, it seems to be improving.  The weaning of the steroids is very slow, so it is likely that this will still be checked for several more days.  The team adjusts her insulin as needed based on her blood glucose levels.

For the most part, Morgan seems to be moving in the right direction, post her pneumonia and setback.  We are prayerful that this will continue.  We need to avoid any viruses or infections that would cause another setback.  Several times we have felt close to bringing her home and have had a hiccup.  Seth and I cannot wait to shout from the mountain tops that she is coming home, but we are trying to be patient, although we are not very good at it.  We know the Good Lord is healing our little girl and working miracles in her body.  She has defied so many odds that there is no doubt the Lord is at work! 

We are humbled by your continued prayers for Morgan and us.  Thank you for continuing to support and encourage all of us. 

I was asked to post Morgan’s email address again.  Please feel free to send her a note.  We read them to her and we will also have them for her when she gets older.
