Good morning all!
Bree is doing wonderful this morning! She has been weaned down to 21% oxygen and she is doing perfectly fine at that setting. Her blood gases have continually been better and better, so they have changed the settings on her ventilator to start weaning her off it a little bit. (not giving as much support) Her Dopamine medication is being weaned as well, so she is on half the rate of what she was yesterday.
We were told yesterday by the NP that her brain scan showed results of new Stage three bleeds, but he could not tell us to what extent they are. Her ventricles have not increased in size since her previous scan, which is good news. However, new bleeds are not a good thing. Adam and I are going in this morning to talk with the neurologist about this new result sand what it means. The NP did agree with me though, that these new bleeds are probably the result of all of the excitement we had on Sunday.
In other news, Riley did something quite unexpected yesterday. She was playing like normal, and I was sitting on the floor with her. She came over to me, laid down like when she gets her diaper changed, grabbed her feet, and pulled them up. I checked her diaper out of curiosity and she was poopy!! What a big girl for telling us!
Hope this finds everyone happy, healthy and in love with life!

Praising God for the progress...praying for resolution of those bleeds.
A dear saint who is praying for you all sent this message to you:
"She had to go back to Heaven to get her orders for her mission here. She is beautiful. I send her blessings in Jesus name."
God bless and protect you all and all those tending to and ministering to you.
Adam, Tasha, Riley and Bree, I am continuing to pray for you all. Praying God's blessings for you all and more healing progress for Bree.
Families are such a wonderful gift from God.
I am glad to hear that her Blood Gas levels have been good and they have been able to do some weaning... The new bleeds don't sound great, though I am sure you will have more of an idea what your dealing with after your meeting tomorrow.. Will be hoping and praying for more positive news concerning Bree.
Sounds like a mixed bucket of news today. I hope the new brain bleeds, prove to be nothing. I am sure Bree will continue to fight just as hard as we are all praying!
