Eyes wide open

Look who opened her eyes all the way today!  I wish I could say she was happy but she was not.  She does not like anything in her mouth.  She becomes very scared and puckers up her little lip and cries silent tears.  It breaks my heart.
The great news is she was stable today and had NO emergencies!   Praying for kidney function to improve!  Tomorrow she will rest and prepare for surgery on Monday to repair the left atrium.

    Precious thing to see her beautiful eyes. Poor thing must be scared and miserable with that in her mouth. Praying for strength for her surgery Monday and they get it working.

    Oh Teresa sweetheart, I know how scared you must feel with all these foreign tubes everywhere. I hope that they keep her comfortable while she is still on vent. But, its a great sign that she's opening her eyes. She's been through a lot. Praying that surgery on Monday will fix everything and little miss Teresa can look forward to better days ahead. Praying
    that she gets a lot of rest today, so she can go into tomorrow as strong as possible. We are all keeping your sweet princess wrapped around our arms as we pray for comfort for Miss Teresa!! Stay strong!!! You can do this!!!

    I bet it was wonderful to see her eyes opened despite the tears...to know your little girl is responding is such a wonderful thing that only God can do. We prayed at church for her this morning. Going into the surgery remember, Teresa has proven time and time again to be a fighter...she is the boss and God knows the plans for her...plans to shout out her love for everyone.
