Thank you so much for your response about prayers for Bree...she is doing well this morning. They have not done another brain ultrasound so we have no news regarding that aspect. Her update as of this morning is as follows:She is on 55% oxygen, which goes up and down everyday. Her blood gases were great last time they checked and she is still under the photo therapy lights. She was weaned off of her dopamine yesterday (which is her heart/blood pressure medication) and she is doing great off of it and has not needed to go back on. So, it is looking like she will start receiving breast milk here in the next 4-5 days.I did ask the nurse what they would look for for signs that the brain bleeds were affecting Bree and was told that her vitals would be unstable and she would have a poor response to treatment. Thankfully, she has not had any signs of that in any way! So Praise God that she is doing well with that! Let's all continue to pray for healing of her brain bleeds and continued strength for her little body....she is our little fighter!In fun news today, Adam and I (and Riley) are going to wal mart to purchase some small things to brighten her "station". She has a bulletin board and small area that we are allowed to decorate and make our own so we plan on getting some fake flowers, her name in letters and a few other things to make it feel more like home. Hope this finds you all happy, healthy and in love with life!LoveAdam, Tasha, Riley and Bree
