Everything went well today- they got a late start and the case took longer than they planned, but Tessa made it through just fine and is relaxing now in her hospital room. It's even a private room! Which is nice, because three years ago her roommates were The Nevershutuppersons, who decided to get discharged one night at 3AM, which caused a lot of needless commotion for that time of night.
We're looking at 2 or 3 days in the hospital, then rehab for 2 or 3 weeks here in Baltimore. More tomorrow!
(Tessa trivia: the yellow blanket on her chest in the picture was a newborn gift from my friend Trey, and she has slept with it nearly every night of her life)
Brianna, why is there no "like" option beneath that comment? What the devil is going on hereeee???

Tessa, you're so cool and you're totally awesome!

Hey Tessa -- just checking in on you from work and I'm glad to see your Dad is keeping us up to date. Private rooms are much nicer, don't you think? I must say, your yellow blanket looks like it's holding up well. You should have seen (and smelled) Anna's little teddy bear by the time she was your age. Come to think of it, you can! She still has it. Hope you're feeling OK today and all those awful NURSES are not irritating you today. You know how they are.
