Morgan Kate

We all had another great day! Morgan Kate was awake and alert some during the day, her oxygen was good, she tolerated her bottles and she grew. Wow! God is so good! 

Oxygen

Morgan Kate's oxygen was 30% for a majority of the day. Around 5ish or so she went up to 34%. These numbers are still down from yesterday so we are really happy.

Feedings

Morgan Kate took a bottle at 9am for me and another at 6pm for Travis. She did well with both bottles. This morning she left about 5ccs, but tonight she finished the entire bottle. Since she seems to be doing so well they have increased her bottles to every other feed. She will be getting a bottle at 6pm, 12am, 6am, 12pm, and so forth. Please pray that Morgan Kate will continue to do well with her bottles. This is a BIG step!

Weight

Tonight we were able to bathe Morgan Kate, get her ready for bed and be there for weigh in. She did a great job with her bath and seemed really relaxed. In the past we have given her a sponge bath, but tonight we were able to put her in a tiny basin of water. She seemed to love it! She weighed in at five pounds and six ounces. Woohoo!

Eyes

Morgan Kate had her fourth eye exam today and it went well. I had to leave the room and she cried a little. Eye exams are no fun! No signs of ROP and Dr. C will return in two weeks for the next exam. She has been getting exams every two weeks and I am assuming she will continue to get them until she goes home. She was really upset after the exam and today was the very first time I have been able to pick her up and console her. The three times before she was either too small or in her isolette. It was so nice and comforting for me - I hope it was for her!
