Day #4

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday afternoon. It looks gorgeous outside here in Minnesota!
Trinity is doing pretty good. She's been on a few wagon rides yesterday and today and has enjoyed getting out of her room. She's been wearing her TLSO(abdominal brace) for an hour at a time to help keep her back straight so she don't do any slouching. She will need to wear this for the next 12 weeks while awake during the day. Her fever has come down, but still in the 100-101 range. They are not real concerned with it, but just continue to watch it. We had some vomiting this morning, but that has been the only time since the surgery which is good. They are keeping her feeds low at 25 ml's/hr which is less then an ounce. Hoping to increase it some more tonight.
The hope is that she will go home tomorrow, so we are keeping our fingers crossed for that. She looks great and we still can't believe how straight this has made her. Trinity is such a tough little girl!!
We can't thank you all enough for your continued prayers as Trinity recovers. We are blessed to have such wonderful family and friends!
**Also wanted to note that the pop tabs that all of you have been donating have been going to a great cause. This summer Ronald McDonald House opened in Gillette and is located inside the hospital. This has been great for our family during this stay. We are able to donate the tabs to help benefit this organization, so "thank you" for your continued support.
