Trinity Makes Progress!!


Sorry we haven't updated in a week, but we wanted to wait until after we seen the doctor on Tuesday. Monday Trinity had her two month checkup and shots. She has grown a lot and weighs 12lbs 12oz. Unfortunately she had her two month shots and she didn't feel a thing. I never imagined that I would want to hear my daughter scream in pain, only to know that she felt something. She didn't even flinch, but we are not going to let that get us down, she has shown us so much strength and determination, that we know she WILL have feeling there and she WILL walk someday!!
On Tuesday she seen the plastic surgeon. This was one of the best days we have had since Trinity was brought into this world. He removed her stitches and the glue and I am sure you can tell by looking at the picture it has stayed closed, HURRAY!! The doctor was ecstatic as were we. Finally we feel like things are looking up and Trinity can continue to move forward towards the goals ahead. She can lay on her back as much as she likes (which isn't much) and we can make our trip to Iowa (with a lot of stops).
My family is here; my mom, sister, Kodie, Shaye, and Grandma Shearer. It has been great having them here and meeting Shaye for the first time. She is adorable and looks just like her brother. They will follow me back to Iowa.
We really appreciate all of your support and prayers. This has been a trying past couple months for us, but God is faithful and loving. Trinity's life has had a huge impact on so many people and it brings a lot of joy to Shannon and I knowing this.
