Fresh from Heaven

Tenna Kristine joined our family on Monday, September 21st, 2009 at 4:12 pm. She weighed 8 lbs. 2 oz. and is 20 1/2 inches long. She was diagnosed with Downs Syndrome and also has heart and lung problems. She has two holes in her heart and will need to have open-heart surgery to repair them. The surgery will likely be when she is 3-6 months old.

Tenna is using a C-PAP machine to help her breathe; she was taken off the machine for a short time but is back on it now.

Kim was able to hold Tenna on Wednesday and she fell instantly in love with her little angel.

Because of the danger of spreading germs, Kim and Kyle are the only visitors that Tenna is allowed to have. Dannika says that she always thought that she was a patient person, but waiting to meet her sister is changing that. Once Tenna is able to be off the C-PAP she will be able to meet her four big sisters through the window.
