Oxygen wise, Morgan Kate ranged from 24% - 33%. I was so excited about the 24%! Hopefully this will continue. I got to hold her for about an hour today and her oxygen needs increased from 24% to 27%. It wasn't a huge increase, but I was a little disappointed because I don't want to do anything to stress her out or hinder her progress.
Tonight when Travis and I went for our "night time" visit Morgan Kate was very alert. She was looking around and moving her arms and legs. She also got a bath and we were able to help. She wasn't thrilled about the bath, but looked so nice and clean afterward. She didn't have any wires or "equipment" on and we were able to see her beautiful little face. I must admit - she looks just like Travis! Her poor little nostrils are so wide and stretched out because of the CPAP (you will notice this in one of pictures on the new slideshow). It looks painful and I am sure it probably really is, but they will go back down once she is off of the CPAP.
She is continuing to tolerate her increased feeds and tonight she weighed in at four pounds and one ounce. God is so good! I can't get over that she is already four pounds. Hopefully as she gets bigger and older her lungs will improve as well. Be sure to check out the two pictures below, as well as the new slideshow to the right. In the first picture below Morgan Kate was three weeks old and the second picture is from tonight. Wow! What a big difference!
We are thankful:
-that God has been so good!
-that Morgan Kate continues to grow so well.
-that Morgan Kate's oxygen needs have decreased some.
-that Morgan Kate continues to tolerate her feeds.
-that we have such wonderful family and friends.
-for all your thoughts, prayers and words of support and encouragement.
Prayer Requests:
-Morgan Kate's growth
-Morgan Kate's oxygen needs
-Please pray that Morgan Kate's time on the CPAP will be short.

Wow! She's growing so fast! God is taking such good care of her. He has blessed you so much through all of this. It's so exciting to think that with every ounce gained, He is getting her one step closer to going home. I know that will be a WONDERFUL day. Love you and miss you. Tell Morgan Kate that Will says "What's up, cutie! Can't wait to meet you" :)
I can barely see the screen through the tears! Of course they are tears of saddness but mostly tears of joy. I miss seeing MK so much but I am so excited about her progress and the continued strength of you and Travis. You are both awesome and I pray that God will continue to hold your hands through this journey. Lean on Him and until I can get back there, keep telling MK how much I miss her and love her. Kaky

Heather, I cannot believe how much Morgan Kate is growing -- she has come so far in 8 weeks! Kaky & I were talking this week about all of the events of the past 2 months, it wears me out to think about them. God has been so could & gotten us thru them all and will continue to do so if we ask Him. Give Morgan Kate a kiss for me & I'll see you soon.
