Tessa received her two month vaccination shots and an epo (erythropoietin) shot today. Her vaccinations were DTP (Diphtheria, Tetanus & Pertussis), Hib(Haemophilus Influenzae), IPV(Polio) and PCV7(Pneumococcal infection). Five shots in one day cannot be comfortable but she handled them well. She received some Tylenol and some Sweetease (glucose) before and after to ease the discomfort. She did cry a little but actually this indicates normal brain function. If she did not cry, it might be an indication of a problem with pain response.
Mom and dad attended an infant CPR class this evening. We are so glad to have this information in preparation for going home but obviously hope that we will never need to do CPR. Tessa is progressing forward every day. Today they lowered the flow on her oxygen from 1.5 to 1 liter/minute. She also received her second bath. This time, mommy gave Tessa her bath. She was resting very comfortably when we left the hospital this evening. Thanks again to everyone for your continuing prayers and support.
Romans 15:30
Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me

I praise God for guiding little Tessa through two months of life "on the outside." I also praise Him for using her parents in a mighty way as they minister and witness in the NICU.
Psalm 5:11 says " but let all those who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice; let them sing and shout for joy, because You make a covering over them and defend them; let those who love your name be joyful in You and be in high spirits." David said it first and I say "Amen" and "thank you, Lord for your loving kindness and covering of Tessa"
