Finally Home!!

We are finally home with Trinity after two weeks of being in the NICU. Trinity is doing pretty good. She got home Friday afternoon and enjoyed a peaceful weekend with her mom, while daddy and Aubree were in Iowa. Shannon got home last night and Aubree is going to stay in Iowa until next weekend. I really miss her and can't wait to see her next weekend!
Today the Home Health nurse came to see Trinity. She weighs 10lbs 4oz!! I don't think she has any problems eating!! She did point out that Trinity was a lot more fussy then the last time that she seen her. Shannon and I both feel the same way and are wondering if her back is starting to bother her. It is really hard to keep that area clean and we have the concern that urine and stool are getting up there. She will see the surgeon on Thursday and hopefully we will have made some progress with the healing of her back. On Wednesday she has an Audiologist appointment to have her hearing checked again. When she was a little over a week old she failed the hearing test on her left side. We continue to do the catheter once a day per the Urologist until we see him in a couple weeks. Hopefully at that appointment they will let us do it as needed since she has been urinating on her own with no problems.
Please keep Trinity in your prayers as her back continues to heal. Our biggest concern is that she doesn't get an infection in that area that is open. You can tell that it is bothering her and we feel so helpless when we can't help her feel better. Thanks again for your prayers and support! We love all of you so much!

Praying for you all, especially that Trinity's back would heal perfectly and that it wouldn't cause her any more pain/discomfort.
It was nice to see Aubree on Sunday. She is such a cute girl - and getting so tall.

We miss you!
Love,
Matt, Rochelle & Ethan
