Ups and Downs, but all-in-all heading in the right direction.

Another scan was done on Brontë's head on Tuesday which revealed the brain bleed is still occurring.  It hasn't gotten worse, but it is still present.  Her oxygen has been weaned down and her food intake has increased to 9mls (.3oz).  She has also put on some weight.  Her lowest weight was 2lbs 6oz and is now up to 2lbs 14oz.  They will try bottle feeding in approximately 2 weeks.

Today Brontë was completely off of her nasal canulla for 5 hours.  Tuckered the poor little thing out, so they put her back on it.  Today she also started physical therapy.  She was put on a stretch and exercise program to help with tightness in her joints caused by being in Emily so long after her water broke.
