Tessa had some blood pressure problems during the night but it is now stable. Of greater concern is that her abdomen has continued to swell. It is possible that she is having some problems with blood flow to her bowel. This is a very serious condition and the only diagnostic tool is exploratory surgery. Tessa will be going into surgery as soon as possible this morning. Please lift her fragile body up in prayer. They may need to remove part of her intestine or they may find irreparable damage to her intestine or other internal organs. Our faith is being tested once again but we believe our God is mighty.
Romans 1:9
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

Poor little Tessa; it's so sad to think about all her tiny body is having to go through. And the anguish we know you are enduring as well. My thoughts and prayers will be with you today and we will hope for a good report later.
Long-distance hugs to you both.
We say a prayer for Tessa and her Mommy and Daddy at this moment . . . We pray dear Lord that You will protect Tessa during surgery, guide the hands of the doctors and nurses helping her, and wrap your loving arms around Nancy and Anthony. In Your Name we pray and thank you for all your blessings, Amen.
Nancy and Anthony, please know that we are all praying for you and Tessa. The Lord is with y'all now and he is carrying all three of you through this challenging time. We send all our love.
