We Are Home!!

It is so hard to believe, but Trinity is home and doing well! A 7-10 day stay in the hospital only turned into about a 5 day stay.
Before going home yesterday they ran a few tests, did an ultrasound of her kidneys, and an x-ray in her TLSO. Everything looked great. On Friday her urine showed evidence of a UTI so they are treating her for that. They wanted to make sure before sending her home that she didn't have urine going up into her kidneys since she was getting UTI's so frequently. But her kidneys look good.
We had to go home with twice the meds that she went in with and she has to be hooked up to her feeding tube 20 hours a day, which is going to be difficult when she becomes active again. They want to get some more fat on her little body.
On the way home yesterday from the hospital Shannon and I found ourselves again praising God for such a wonderful outcome. From thinking she would be in the PICU and intubated to going to the regular floor breathing on her own. Then recovering so well that she's home already, GOD is GOOD!!! We have a lot to be thankful for!
Please continue to pray for Trinity's recovery and that she can soon come off the pain meds. Our friend Will is also in the hospital after having hip surgery. Please pray for him and his mom, Rebecca. We enjoyed getting to spend some time with them in the hospital. The doctors and nurses called them Romeo and Juliet!
