Great News!

Morgan loves her bottle

 

 

Got great news from our daughter this afternoon, Morgan has regained her birth weight and passed the car seat test. She finally got to come home nine days after her birth so needless to say we are all thrilled. It is great to see her off the NICU. No parent wants their baby to have to spend any time at all but we are lucky it was mostly because she was only sleeping, not eating and her weight dropped dramatically. I am happy to say she is now eating regularly and whole heartedly and is now gaining more weight each day.

She has not had a breathing episode for two days now so it looks like everything is good to go. New parents are (of course) worried and will probably have a few sleepless nights because of getting up to check on her throughout the night, but I don’t blame them at all, I would too.

Thank you all for your concern, good thoughts and prayers as I really appreciate it.

Blue Monday all Week

I love fall. The change in the colors of the trees and the leaves falling. Cool, crisp mornings and evenings with lovely sunshine during the day. Not what we have had this week.

It’s been drab and gray all week and just misty enough with the rain to be annoying. No sun yet not really cool enough for a jacket. Just blah.

I’m sitting here occasionally looking out my back door and all I can see is brown prairie grass. Just plain ugly.

Where did fall go? Where are my lovely fall colors? Man I hope that it gets better soon.

This is more what I was looking forward to:

Well, maybe by Thanksgiving.

What is your favorite season?

Looks Like She Was Much Earlier Than Thought

Little Miss Morgan

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Got my update on Morgan last night and the neonatologist has been in to see her and he believes that she was much earlier than 13 days. He is thinking that the OB/GYN was off on the calculations of when Morgan was due and might be a month or so early.

All of the tests they have run show she is perfect but they are having trouble keeping her body temp up where it should be and when she sucks on a pacifier her oxygen stats go down as well.

Morgan is finally eating better so hopefully she will gain back the weight she has lost. They are thinking another 3-4 days in the hospital in an isolate and on monitors.

Thank you for your thoughts, well wishes and prayers as we appreciate them.
