Happy Belated V-Day!!

We hope that everyone had a great V-Day!! We enjoyed a quite weekend with not a lot going on. We took the girls out for breakfast yesterday and then I made a nice supper last night. The girls each got a little toy from eachother. Aubree picked out Trinity's gift and did a great job! She got stacking stars that lights up and plays music. Trinity really likes playing with it and Aubree does too! We had a great church service this morning. I don't know if I have mentioned this before, but we really enjoy the new church we found. We are excited to get involved and start meeting new people.

This past week we had Trinity's 2 week checkup with Dr. Haines. Everything looked really good and Trinity is healing very nicely. They will do an MRI in April to check the Chiari and also to check her shunt and make sure it is working like it should be. We didn't get a lot of time with him because he had an emergency surgery to get to. Hopefully next time we can spend some more time talking to him about some of our concerns. Trinity has been struggling this week with a bad cold. We have been to the pediatrician once this week and it looks like we will be making another trip tomorrow. It is all in her chest and she struggles to breath. They did an x-ray last week that looked good, but she has not improved and I would like to get this resolved soon.

This Wednesday we have an interview with Early Childhood to help with PT and OT. We are really looking forward to this in hopes that we can start getting Trinity some strength to do more things. We also go to Shriners on Thursday to get her new chair! This chair will help her to sit up in her highchair and stroller. I am so amazed at all the things they can do to make it easier for a child with disabilities even at the age of 12 months.

I got a nice "Thank You" card from Shriners for all the pop tabs that have been donated. This goes out to all of you that have helped us with donating these. I have a box to bring for my next visit. Everytime I get to drop them off I get so much joy in seeing the faces of the people I give them to. Just know that what you are doing is helping put another child in a wheelchair!

We are getting excited for Trinity's 1st Birthday! We can hardly believe that she is going to ONE!! I look forward to doing a post on Trinity's first year of life. We get to come back to Iowa to celebrate with our family and friends.

Have a great week! :)
