Trinity's Progress

Today Trinity got moved to a crib!!! You can only imagine how excited we were to get that news. They removed her IV this morning and the dressing on her head. She is now wearing clothes and is sleeping in a crib. She's still hooked up to the monitors to keep an eye on her heart rate. The doctors are saying that she is making great progress and her lesion is looking really good. I got to change her diaper for the first time today. It was pretty interesting and not quite the same as when I changed Aubree for the first time. We have to make sure that nothing gets on her incision so it makes it very difficult when you are cleaning her from a dirty diaper. Things are just going to take more time and we are going to have to be patient with that. They were going to do an ultrasound today of her kidneys, but the neurologists decided that it didn't need to be done right now since she has pretty good wet diapers. They may look at doing that down the road. We still have to be very careful of her back so when she is laying down she needs to be on her stomach or on her side. They are checking to see if she will be okay to ride in her carseat, if they feel like she can't be on her back for that long then they will have us purchase a carbed. We are hoping that by the time we leave the hospital she will be okay to be in a carseat, since the carbed is around $200. We finally feel like there is an end in sight. The doctors think that she might get to come home maybe Monday or Tuesday. Although we would love to have her come home tomorrow or sooner, we feel comfortable knowing that the longer she's in the NICU the better her incisions will heal. We posted pictures of her in the crib and after her surgery yesterday. Please continue to pray for Trinity and her healing process and for Shannon and I as we prepare to bring her home. God bless
