Trinity is not feeling very well these past few days. Yesterday we had to take her in because she was running a fever of 104 and was shaking. I was so worried that it was her shunt, but I guess Tonsillitis is better then a shunt malfunction. They put her on some medicine and hopefully it will be gone and she can be her happy self again. She also has some spots on her that look like spider bites, but the doctor thinks that it is boils or staff?? I need to do some research on this, but they were concerned because it can be harmful to her with her shunt, so we are doing a cream twice an day and hoping that it goes away soon.

Shannon and I could use some prayers as we have some decisions to make for Trinity and her sleep apnea. We took her to an ENT doctor in hopes that it would just be her adenoids and we could get them removed and that would help, but unfortunately her adenoids are not the BIG problem. They would like to go ahead and remove them and her tonsils and see if it helps, but there are some risks. Because Trinity vomits so much it could cause her to bleed more then usual and cause a problem for healing. Her sleep apnea is pretty severe and they would like to get something figured out to help her breath better when sleeping and to also help with her respiratory issues. We just don't want to put Trinity through any more trauma if we don't have to. Please pray that we make the best decision!

Things are going good here. Trinity is enjoying the loaner wheelchair that we got from the school. We hope to get hers in a couple months! She also got to visit the school last week and play with some fun things like a smart board. She loved it!!! Mom is not ready for this next step, but I know the day is coming :(
