Morgan Kate

Happy Birthday, Gator! Big 5-5! Morgan Kate wishes you a happy day!

Morgan Kate had somewhat of a stressful time today. Her oxygen flow was decreased from three to two. She did okay at first, but after several hours and an attempt at a bottle feed her oxygen needs began to increase. At one point today she was up to 41%. I tried bottle feeding her at 12pm, but she was way too tired and breathing was very difficult for her. Around seven tonight she was still breathing fast and her oxygen was around 38%, so they decided to go back to a flow of three. Hopefully, this will help and her oxygen needs will again decrease. I guess she just wasn't ready for a flow of two - maybe in a week or two they will try again and it will work. 

Oxygen

Oxygen ranged from 30% - 41% at a flow of two and then three.

Feedings

Morgan Kate attempted to take a bottle at 6am and again at 12pm. At 6am she was extremely tired and at 12pm she was also tired and having a hard time breathing. They were going to try and bottle feed her again at 9pm. 

Weight

She was finally begin to settle down around 7:30 tonight, therefore, they were going to wait until later to weigh her. I will report tomorrow with her weight. 

Please pray that Morgan Kate's lungs will continue to mature and that breathing will become a lot easier for her.
