What a Fun Day!

Morgan is doing well on the regular ventillator. She has a small leak in her tube but it isn't causing any problems besides a faint wheezing noise so they are going to leave it alone for now. They are weaning her bit by bit on this ventillator. They have also discussed giving steroid shots over a course of ten days to boost her lung progress. There are some side effects to it but they believe that those may be less than having her on the ventillator for much longer.

John got to hold Morgan today for the first time. She did really well with it, all three hours of it! She seemed so peaceful and comfortable.

Morgan also got some new bed sheets. One of the nurses told us we could bring in some receiving blankets to dress up her area. So the sheets with all of the flowers are new for her. She is also wearing a hat given by Aunt Sherry which came with matching "NICU" outfits. The outfits are designed to easily open with velcro and not get in the way of any cords and IVs. Two volunteers came in and traced the outfits to use it as a pattern to sew additional outfits for the other babies. I guess Morgan is a trendsetter which is a far cry from me and my sweatpants.
