Adam and I are about to head off to see Bree with Joel and Kristina. Kristina works right by the hospital so we gave her a wristband to be able to see Bree on her lunch hours. Her husband Joel, then hears all this information about Bree...but has never seen her. So we want to be able to "put a face to the name" for him. :)
Bree is up to full feeds! Because she is tolerating full feeds, it means that she is not getting TPN anymore. She is strictly getting breastmilk and they do add some vitamins into it to make it 24 calories a feeding. They have to make sure that she is getting her caloric needs to be able to grow. She has lost a little bit of weight lately, so she is 2 lbs 5 oz as of last night. Since she is just on breastmilk, the nurses are taking out her PCVC line. This is exciting because it greatly decreases her risk of infections. Yesterday, we went to see Bree after we went to the pumpkin patch and Adam's mom got to hold her. I am going to post all the pictures after all this...
Riley had a good time at the pumpkin patch...Adam, Mama and myself found it disappointing though. Adam and I grew up in Washington state...and where we come from (wow I sound old!) you go out in your boots and tromp around in the mud to find your pumpkin. Half the time you get stuck in the mud about 2-3 times! However, we got to play with Riley and we picked out pumpkins for Riley and for Bree.
Adam and I are off to see Bree...and to go to his birthday present from his parents....WWE Wrestling! They are in town tonight for the "Cyber Sunday" Pay Per View, so it should be a whole bunch of excitment, loud noises and fireworks...
Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy, and in love with life!

LOL.....talk about getting stuck in the mud. I remember going to the punkin patch one year with Ginger. It was so muddy that weekend she got herself stuck in the mud. No boots and when she tried to pull her foot out, it came out without her shoe. Her shoe was totally stuck in the mud! It was the funniest thing. You remember that punkin patch we used to go to before they shut down?
Looks like you had fun pickin punkins though. Cant wait to get there.
Love you!
Tasha/Adam,
Hello I am Steve, Ginger's husband, I read your postings almost everyday. It is such an encouragement reading your postings. I can't imagine what Bree looked like at 1.5 ibs. We Pray for Bree & Famil daily. My church has Prayed for Bree, and some people ask me abour Bree, I just say go to the website.
Prayers,
Steve
