In lieu of any flowers, food, or gifts, we would appreciate any donations to the Family Support Network of Central Carolina or the Ronald McDonald House of Winston-Salem.

The Ronald McDonald House allowed us to be with Tessa while at Brenners Childrens Hospital. If at all possible, we would also like to encourage everyone possible to donate blood or platelets. Without blood donors, Tessa's medical treatment would have never been possible. she was receiving multiple blood transfusions every day while on ECMO. To find out where you can donate, visit http://www.givelife.org/ or call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE (1-800-448-3543). You may mail your donations in honor of Tessa to:

The doctors and nursing staff at Brenner Childrens Hospital are truly remarkable.

Hello Family and Friends
Obviously, we did not expect Nancy to start premature labor at only 24 weeks into her pregnancy but thanks so much to everyone for your love and support. Hopefully this space will help you stay up to date on Nancy and the baby's progress while in the hospital over the next few weeks. You can also add your own comments, encouragement, prayers and thoughts. Blessings to you all. -Anthony
