The transport went well and we have arrived at Brenner Childrens Hospital. The transport team told us that Tessa maintained her sats in the 80s during the trip. Praise God. We are anxiously waiting to see her now.

Ronald McDonald House
The Ronald McDonald House of Winston-Salem has been a real blessing to us. It costs them $73/night for us to stay there but they only charge us $5/night. It is right across the street from Brenner Childrens Hospital and we can come and go as often as we like. God provides for us in so many ways. We are thankful.

Hello Family and Friends
Obviously, we did not expect Nancy to start premature labor at only 24 weeks into her pregnancy but thanks so much to everyone for your love and support.
Hopefully this space will help you stay up to date on Nancy and the baby's progress while in the hospital over the next few weeks. You can also add your own comments, encouragement, prayers and thoughts.
Blessings to you all.

Thank you so much for the continuous updates. We'll miss little Tessa Nicole here in Greensboro but we know she's in good hands at Brenners. Tell them to be careful of her little halo :)
God bless your entire family.
We are glad to hear that ya'll got to Brenners safe and sound. I bet that Womens is already missing ya'll. We hope that Brenners will be able to help Tessa and hopefully turn things around in the right direction for ya'll. Thank ya'll for all the up-dates. We know it takes time to do this for us. We will be praying and thinking of ya'll often. Tell the staff to take good care of your little girl. Please let Tessa know how much she is loved and thought of.
Joya, David & Family
THANK YOU GOD!!!
Thanks for the updates Anthony :)
Patty
We are glad to hear that Tessa made it to Brenner's safe and sound. We will miss all of you here at Women's. Just remember, we are only a phone call away.
I'm glad the transport went smoothly. Now she has new equipment available to help her recover and become a strong and determined little girl which she has already proven to everyone. Anthony and Nancy -- get your rest now!
Sending lots of love and prayers!
Angie
My baby girl and I stood in for Tessa today at curch. We were annointed for her healing and prayed for by our elders and congregation. I personally want to thank you both for your confessions of faith. I have been touched by them and I am a born again christian. You are amazing witnesses for Christ--I can only imagine what your confessions of faith have done for those around you that don't know Jesus as their savior. I know in my heart that God will heal Tessa completely and you will get to bring her home soon. He is faithful to those that love Him and call Him Lord. My church will continue to pray for Tessa and you two as well.
God Bless you!
Tammy Meredith
Glad to hear that the transition from one hospital to the other was successful.
Thank you for the updates!!!
We know that Tessa will continue to heal and be able to come home before you know it.
Love!!
Ellen & Dean
I am so relieved that Tessa made it safely to Brenner's. I pray that they have a treatment to get her back on the road home to you. I can't help but think that perhaps the 'kangeroo' Anthony longed for might have made her better. Father always knows best. Yes, he does. Bless you.
Cathy
Thank you for letting me take care of Tessa. You all are such an amazing family. How lucky that Tessa has you both for parents. We miss you already but know Tessa will be loved and cared for just as much at Brenner's. Please keep us updated and remember we are keeping you in our prayers.
Jenny
We are happy to hear that she arrived at Brenners safely. I'm certain God will continue his work and begin the healing process with Little Tessa. I hope that mommy and daddy are getting some rest now. Please know that you all remain in our prayers! We love you all so very much!
