21 Pounds!!!

Could it be real?? Yes it is!! Trinity has finally, after almost 2 years, gained weight and weighs more then she has ever weighed!!! This is very exciting news and reassures us why we went ahead with the feeding tube. Although she still vomits she is gaining weight and that's great news! Now all we need to do is figure out why she still has vomiting issues, but hopefully that will be figured out soon.

I will admit I am getting pretty bad about updating on the blog, so please be patient with me as life keeps getting busier.

Trinity is doing really good. She continues to get her feedings at night through her g-tube and takes a bottle during the day. We are doing a lot more time in her TLSO and getting her back in her stander after not spending that much time in it this summer. Trinity got a loaner wheelchair from the school until we get her own in a few months. Our most challenging thing right now is trying to get her used to the mask she needs to wear when hooked up to a c-pap machine. She's scared to death of it, but hopefully with time we can get her used to it. She has to go see an ENT in a couple weeks to look at her atnoids. They think they might be enlarged and may need removed. This could play a role in her breathing at night while she is sleeping and could help reduce the amount she would need through her c-pap machine. She had a physical therapy evaluation done on Thursday and it went pretty good. She will be getting more therapy through Gillette hopefully in the next month.

Last weekend Aubree had the privilege of being a very beautiful flower girl in Kayla (Jansen) and Scott Kelly's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and feel very blessed to have been a part of such an amazing day for such a wonderful couple. Aubree has talked about it all week and I think we will hear about it for a long time!
