She started out as this tiny tiny baby in a box that couldn't breathe on her own, couldn't eat on her own, and couldn't be moved or touched or stimulated too much or she would stop breathing and drop her heart rate. She received EXCELLENT care from all the nurses and doctors at Phoenix Children's Hospital (and still does!) and was able to join our family at home in time for Christmas.
Fast forward two and a half years and you have this:
That's right. Bree is a model for Phoenix Children's Hospital! I can't believe it. We had a photo shoot during one of her doctor appointments a few months ago and I signed waivers and all that, but they weren't able to say if they were going to use her or not. Our friend Anneke took her kiddo to their GI appt today and she said that Bree's picture is up everywhere!
I am sure I will be able to write a much more put together and thought out post one of these days about this...but I wanted to share it with you all. Thank you for all your prayers, well wishes, positive thoughts and support you have sent our way during this journey with Bree. We have only just begun to see how amazing of a person she is going to be. :)

That is so awesome!! Bree is in print!! It's her first real cover shoot, so you'll have to get one and frame it for sure!
This makes me cry happy tears! What an amazing little girl she has become with the help of some very amazing people. (Doctors, nurses and of course her wonderful parents!) I am proud to be a Phoenix, Arizona Native and love that Bree is our model for Phoenix Children's Hospital!! My oldest son who is 17 1/2 now received excellent care there as well when he was 3 1/2 weeks old and again when he was 2.
That is such a wonderful blog. It made me teary eyed too. The picture of Bree is wonderful. I took it to lunch today and showed her off to the retired ladies from Owens. Soooo proud of all of you.
