God is strengthening Tessa each and every day. Nurse Chris says that she is having a very good day. She is doing well with the CPAP and is on room air (21% oxygen) most of the time. Her blood gases have been good and all of her vital signs are stable. The doctors decided during rounds to again increase her feedings to 1.3cc per hour. Tessa, it's time to gain some weight. Her most current weight was 1lb 15oz although some of this may still be excess fluids.
Dr. Parsons from Brenners called to check on Tessa this morning and we spoke with him briefly. We are honored that he took the time to do this. She is healing well from surgery and they are slowly weaning the hydrocortizone that was used to boost her adrenal system prior to surgery. She still cuddles up with Freddy the Frog and now sucks her pacifier for a moment or two on select occasions. We continue to hope in the Lord and acknowledge him as the source of her strength.
Isaiah 40:31
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Hi Tessa, This is Dani Jo--I sure do miss you. It was kind of sad to look over this morning and not see you in your spot. It is not the same. Your mom and dad sure did touch my mom and dad in a way that only God could work. I am glad you got to move closer to home. I wish you well and hope that you get strong so you can go home soon. I might get to go home in 2-3 weeks if all goes well. Talk to you later--Luv Dani Jo
I'm so glad that she is back at Women's and thriving! What a wonderful little girl she is!
