Prayers Please!

We could really use your prayers. Trinity has been vomiting during the night not just once, but 2-3 times a night. Vomiting is not out of the ordinary for Trinity, but since she is now getting all her feeds straight into her small intestine, this makes vomiting a lot harder since she has nothing in her stomach. She wakes up with a blood curdling cry and by the time we get into her room she has either thrown up or is just starting to. She won't take a bottle anymore and before surgery that is the one thing we could get her to take orally. So with that said she's throwing up bile and mucous. I know what it feels like to have nothing left to throw up and what a horrible feeling it is. I can't imagine being in her little body that is healing from a major surgery and dealing with this.

How can you help? Please pray! We are puzzled and unsure if something major is wrong or if it is from her body still healing. Because vomiting is not out of the ordinary for Trinity we weren't all that concerned at first, but now that it has happened every night since Tuesday, we are starting to get concerned. If it continues throughout the weekend we will probably call the doctors on Monday. It is so difficult to be a parent and have all these concerns and worries all the time. That is where we have to give it to the Lord and "trust" in Him!!

On a positive note, Trinity is healing well. She has worn her TLSO like she's suppose to and handled it very well. She don't argue when she needs to spend time resting and being hooked up to her feeding tube. She's still not quite herself, but she tries to spend as much time as she can in her cart playing with Aubree.

The kids really enjoyed having Grandma Kathy here this week and were sad to see her go home today. She's been a huge help! Tomorrow their Nana, Paula, and Great Grandma Shearer will be here to stay with us and help out. We love having the extra hands and the kids love all the attention they get!!

Shannon and I would like to "thank" everyone for all your support and prayers over the last week. Trinity has received beautiful flowers, stuffed animals, Barbies, balloons, cards, and lots of phone calls. Everytime we go through something like this we are always so amazed to see the outpouring of love our family gets. We will never have enough words to express our gratitude!
