On the Vent

We arrived at the hospital this morning just after 6:30 and Tessa was prepped and ready for surgery at 9am. Mommy and daddy are by her side. Nurse Cara spent the night taking care of Tessa last night. They prayed and sang to our Lord from whom all blessings flow. We were so glad to have her with Tessa. Tessa took her last feeding at two in the morning and did very well. She is sedated now and resting comfortably on the ventilator. God answers our prayers.
Nurse Chris is taking care of Tessa today. We will wait in the NICU waiting area while Tessa goes down to the operating room on the first floor. Our neighbor Fran is here with us for support. God provides for us all.

Matthew 6:8
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
