Tessa looked so pretty today in her gown that her friend Phyllis bought for her. She caught everyone's eye that passed by. I think she is beginning to love all the attention.
Today they increased her feedings to 35ml of milk every 3 hours and she continues to grow. Her weight today is 4lb 3oz. She took some milk from the bottle at all eight of her feedings today and took five feedings entirely by bottle. They removed the feeding tube to help clear her airway and will only reinsert it if needed. She is making great progress with her feedings. Mom and Tessa also tried some nuzzling again today.
Earlier today, Tessa was having frequent desats and some bradycardia. As a result, they decided to try changing her oxygen settings. Rather than 26% oxygen at 1 liter flow rate per minute she is now on 100% oxygen at only .3 liter flow rate per minute. This worked well the remainder of the day because she did not have any additional desats or bradycardia. Praise to our Lord.
Psalm 29:2
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

We were so glad to see ya'll and Little Tessa Saturday night and to get to spend alittle time with ya'll. We really enjoyed ourselves. We are glad to hear that Little Tessa is doing so good and gaining weight. She looked so cute Saturday. (She looks so cute in all her little outfits) We definately could tell a difference in her since we saw her when Kayden was in the NICU. We are also glad to hear that ya'll had a great Christmas together! Hopefully it won't be too much longer before ya'll can spend ya'lls special times at home. At least we are praying ya'll will be able to very soon! Take care and keep growing Tessa!
Joya, David & Family
