I was able to give Morgan Kate her morning bottle and Travis fed her tonight. She did really well both times. She wasn't quite able to finish her night time bottle. She was worn out today! She worked really hard for me this morning - taking her bottle and attempting to nurse- so she was quite tired this evening. She was more interested in counting sheep!
Her oxygen stayed around 27% - 28% for most of the day. Although it's not as low as it has been, it's still really good. I think it's because she is working a lot harder these days.
We have not been there to see her weigh in for the past couple of nights. Since she is feeding at six they are letting her rest and waiting until later to weigh her. Last night she had lost an ounce and weighed in at four pounds and twelve ounces. Part of her weight loss is due to the lasix and the other part is burning more calories because of bottle feeding. Hopefully she will start packing on more ounces very soon!
Please pray for Morgan Kate's growth, development of her lungs and that she will continue to tolerate her bottle feedings. Please also pray that Morgan Kate will be able to rest easy between the feedings so that she is alert and ready to feed.
Morgan Kate's preemie friend, Kayleigh, had her heart surgery today. The surgery went well and she is doing as well as can be expected. The next 48 hours are very critical. Please pray for her recovery and for her family.

I am so glad to hear that she did well today. Feeding time is the best time to snuggle and bond with your sweet little girl. Enjoy every minute of it!

I am so excited to hear about her progress. She is doing great. I can only imagine the bond that you and Travis are making with her now that she is bottle feeding and nursing. Can't wait to see you and her again.
