Tessa is having a really good today.
She had a stable night last night and appears to like being on the conventional ventilator. Throughout the night she was opening her eyes and actually using her hands to try to remove the tape around her mouth. Of course the nurses can't be having any of that so they gave her something to relax a bit. But those are great signs of her mental alertness and how strong she is despite all that she's been through so far.
When Katie and I saw her this morning she opened her eyes in response to our voices. So great to see her beautiful eyes wide open! Her secondary infection seems to be under control judging from her vital signs and even her X-ray showed significant improvement in terms of the clarity of her lungs. No real change on the kidney front.
All-in-all, the doctors and nurses are pleased with her status today. It feels like she's finally turned that corner for real.
Right now she's listening to some of her favorite tunes.
looks like prayers are being answered! I pray she remains to improve and get her home soon!MATT B AND FAMILY
ReplyDeleteKeep going, Tessa! Can't wait to see you laughing and playing again!
ReplyDeleteKatie & Eric,
ReplyDeleteChris and I wanted you to know that we have been following Tessa's progress really closely. Each day we look forward to hearing some better news.
To think that Tessa has touched so many lives is truly amazing. For the past week she has had my Family in France and Finland "praying" for a fast recovery... We never met Tessa and yet she has a very special place in our hearts... She sounds so wonderful that we'll have to meet her soon... when she's all better!
You're both amazing parents!
Chris, Tristan, Kian and Elina Hildebrand
