Colon Cleanse

I have a lot to update all of you on. Trinity is currently in the hospital at Gillette for a colon cleanse and a trial with a NG-Tube (feeding tube going in through the nose). We met with the GI doctor about a month ago and they felt that she needed to have a colon cleanse to totally clean her out and see how she does with eating after that. Their concern with her is dehydration because she don't take a lot of fluids. They are really wanting to do a G-tube, but Shannon and I are trying to make sure that is the best decision for Trinity first. Trinity was admitted today at 9:00 am where they placed a NG-Tube to get the medicine for her cleanse, once she is cleaned out they will start feeding her through the tube with Pediasure (same thing she eats in a bottle at home). At that point we need to make a decision whether or not to go ahead with the G-Tube. We are needing lots of prayers in making the right decision. Trinity has already had a long day and it is only 5:00. They had a really hard time getting an IV in and finally had to do it in her neck because she was so dehydrated.

On another note she also has a fracture in her left leg. About 3 weeks ago her leg swelled up and was really stiff. We took her into Gillette where they found a fracture just above her knee. Luckily it wasn't any higher and she came home with a stabilizer cast that looks like a brace. She is suppose to wear it for 3 weeks and we are crossing our fingers that it will come off tomorrow or Friday. We are unsure what happened, but because she has osteoporosis anything from moving her leg wrong or someone falling on her could have caused this. They explained that this will probably be the first of many.

Other then all of these things Trinity has really been enjoying her summer so far. We have had family up from Iowa and have spent a lot of time at the beach, where Aubree and Trinity love the water!
