Lovin' Life

Mom and dad simply love it when Tessa gets to come out of her isolette and play. Being able to hold her every day is such a joy and a blessing. It is amazing to see how far she has come.
Sunday is a day of rest and Tessa has rested better than yesterday. She slept for over an hour cradled in mommy's arms. She took one feeding today by bottle and also got to take another bath. She seems to love bath time and especially likes getting her hair washed. The doctors made no changes to her feedings, medications, or oxygen levels today. She did have a few bradycardia (a drop in her heart rate and oxygen saturation) today but they seem to be less frequent. We can certainly pray that she will overcome these soon.

Matthew 6:9
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

I can only imagine how hard it is to go back to work on Mondays after spending weekends together with Tessa. Time is precious.

We think of you guys all the time!

Tessa is a gift from above. You will all look back on this a year from now and it will just be a distant memory. Keep thinking positive and God Bless.

Thanks for updating the site so frequently; we feel like we know Tessa.

I bet ya'll do enjoy getting to hold little Tessa as much as you can. She has been through so much and has been a real trooper! I tell you there's nothing like holding your kids when they're babies and them being asleep. They look so angelic when there asleep! We're glad Tessa is still making good progress! Take Care Tessa and keep growing for us! We love ya and are praying for ya.
