Trinity will be coming home tomorrow afternoon. On Wednesday night her surgeon put big steri strips on to pull the skin together and try and close the opening on her back without having to go back in for surgery. They will check this once a week for two weeks. At two weeks the surgeon will then take them off to see if the skin has come together at all, if it doesn't then they will consider going back in for surgery and possibly doing a skin graph. We are praying that this works and Trinity will not have to go back in for surgery. She will be on an antibiotic for another two weeks, but it will be oral and something we can give her at home. She has been such a trooper through all of this and all the nurses absolutely love her!! We have decided to let Aubree stay in Iowa for another week and then she will come home next weekend when Tiffany and Jerad come out to see us. This will give her some more time with everyone in Iowa and give Shannon and I a chance to get settled with Trinity before Aubree comes home. Please continue to pray for the healing of Trinity's back and safe travel for Shannon as he travels back to Michigan on Sunday.

Hi,
I keep thinking about the trials and challenges little Trinity has already faced in her life, and the ones she has yet to face, and even though tears may be welling up in my eyes thinking of the unfairness of it all, this song just keeps popping into my head. "Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun and I say, it's alright."
It's Spring time guys! What better time of the year for Trinity to be coming home? Spring brings new beginnings and new life. It's refreshing and exciting and it belongs to everybody. Yep, Spring is right around the corner and I do believe Trinity is going to round that corner and leave all of her pain and hurdles behind her.
"Here comes the Sun,"
Love ya,

Great to hear she is home. May this trip home last a good while!!! We all look forward to meeting her in person in May.
Love, Heidi
