Morgan Kate's heart rate was a little high today, as well as her blood pressure. She is still breathing on her own (Yeah!), but is on some oxygen. The oxygen helps put pressure on her lungs when she forgets to breathe. Her oxygen levels fluctuated all day so her nurse was in and out a lot. I got to kangaroo with her late this afternoon and all her levels started going back down. I felt really good about this. Her night nurse (which we love) arrived at seven and all of her levels returned to normal. I think she was stressed out earlier today. The ultrasound tech did not come in until 9:00 tonight to do the brain ultrasound. We will not have the results of that scan until in the morning, but I will post as soon as I know something.

Today has been an emotional day. I think things are finally beginning to sink in. I found myself stopping several times today and asking myself, "Is this all really happening?" It is still so hard to believe. I look at this precious little baby in that incubator and I just think, "Why?" I know God has a plan for us and that he wouldn't give us more than we could handle, but it's just so hard. Also, Travis went back to work today for the first time in two weeks. It was very difficult for him and he hated to be away, but he knew it was time to get back. He came to the hospital as soon as he got off and spent the evening with us.

What a beautiful little girl! I want you to know that there are a lot of us praying for Morgan Kate & her family every day. It sounds like yesterday she just needed her Mommie to hold her. Give her some kisses on the top of that sweet little head for me!

Heather- I have been keeping up with your blogs and I am just in awe of how strong you all are! I feel that God is using your situation to help others either through the hospital or through your site/blogs. God picked the best parents for Morgan Kate. She is so blessed not only to have you all as parents but the support system that you have in place, as well. What a beautiful(inside and out) family the three of you make. Praying for everyone.
