Surgery Postponed

Thanks to all of you for your many prayers. God knows the need regardless of the hour. Mom and dad arrived at the hospital at 6am this morning to spend as much time with little Tessa before surgery but at the last minute surgery was postponed. The doctors and nurses did not feel that Tessa was quite ready for surgery today. They wanted to take her off the high frequency jet ventilator during the night and switch her to the conventional ventilator but she was not ready. They also tested her blood gases this morning and the levels were not as good as they would like for Tessa to go into surgery.
God knows the appropriate day and the appropriate hour. We are anxious to see Tessa progressing forward but will be patient and wait on the Lord.

Psalm 33:20
Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he is our help and our shield.

So glad the doctors are being so cautious with your Little Tessa. I hope she has a good day today.

Try to get some rest, I'm so you both need it.

Love

I too am glad that the doctors are being cautious about the surgery. When God feels that Tessa is ready for surgery then the doctors will know it is time. I pray for a good day for your little angel. Try and get some rest yourselves. God Bless!

Love you guys,
Melissa
