Day 9

Tessa is still in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at UCSF Children's Hospital where she'll most likely be for an extended visit. It's still unclear how long though.

Last night was a bumpy night.

All-in-all she's improving although gradually but improving nonetheless.

We've put up all kinds of get well soon cards and drawings all over her room as well as pictures of Tessa so that the nurses and doctors see how much love and support she's got. A big thanks to Samantha and Thomas Sternfels and all of their schoolmates for the outpouring of cards. My favorite is the one that says: "I hope you be helltee. I hope eveebutey bee helltee." That cracked me up. Who knows if it affects how the hospital staff does their job on Tessa but it certainly seems to humanize the situation and they all comment on how cute she is and how funny some of the cards are.

Dats enuff for tooday.
