Introducing Your Little Sister!

The big news for the day is that Dannika, Salise, Ataya and Kinlee met their little sister! through the window. Because of the risk of spreading germs, Tenna is not allowed any visitors other than her parents.

Kim shared the exciting news that Tenna is still improving. She is now taking 20 cc's of milk at a feeding. The ultimate goal is 60 cc's (2 ozs.). If she continues to handle this much well, they will increase the amount.


Her oxygen is turned down now to a 16th of a liter, sometimes it needs to be turned up during a feeding. Babies with Downs Syndrome often have trouble coordinating sucking, swallowing and breathing, Tenna is working hard to learn to eat.

She was also taken off her T-COM. This is a machine that monitors her CO2 output.

Recently when Kim went in to feed her, Tenna stayed awake for 1 1/2 hours! what a special time to spend together. Kim was so excited to see her alert for so long.

We are continuing to pray for little Tenna's progress and love to hear of her success.
