Thank you all so much for the positive words and thoughts. It really helped me get through the day.
It was really hard seeing her so pitiful when I picked her up this afternoon. She is sooo tiny, but such a sweet & strong little girl.

Thank you so much for the reminder/advice. I forwarded to my husband to make SURE that he was aware of how to pick her up. It was so cute when he came home and I said "Wait. Be careful!" And he was so gentle and did it just right-- and said, "I know...I read the e-mail."

Thank you Connie for the sweet thoughts & prayers as well as the advice on the onesie. I had read that before and then forgot to get one. So, my mom went to PetSmart today to get Tessie some "get-well gifts" and checked on onesies and they said they didn't have anything in stock at the moment. So she went to Target and they only had newborn 5-8lbs that she thought would be too big for Tessie. She said she would go to Wal-Mart tomorrow to see if they had any premie onesies that might fit her better.
We love our little girl so much. I'm so glad that I can spend all day at home with her tomorrow. She is such a sweet little girl and I pray that she can have a speedy recovery. Thanks again for all of the positive thoughts & prayers!
