Wrestling update...

It's been a while since Trinity has ventured into the world of wrestling. I have received a number of questions for updates regarding this topic. The fact is that Trinity took a little time off from wrestling to recover and regroup, but she is embarking on a comeback. We decided to start her off slowly, since she has wrestled much since "the event" back in August. My uncle Brian sent us a package yesterday that fit the bill perfectly. Here is what transpired:

Okay, so it was the old "box within a box" trick, but we eventually unwrapped the prize: a huge black bear, as soft as silk, as big as Trinity, and the perfect victim. We named him Bri-Bri. He had no idea what was coming:

I told her to start off easy. She's been pretty sedate, so we don't want to pull a muscle this early on the road to recovery. She started off with a simple arm lock, nothing complicated. This was going pretty well. I warned her again about showboating. No need to get injured jumping off the couch again...

She toyed with him a little, letting him THINK that she was going to pin him early, but I told her that an easy victory wouldn't get her the workout she needed. So she let him up...

...And put him in a headlock. This kid has the instincts! Poor bear just wanted a hug...

Needless to say, he didn't make it too long. She had the bear's number from the start. Here you can clearly see that she has him pinned by the arm. That's because his arm is all that was moving. It was more like a twitch than movement really. The rest of him was knocked out...cold!

Okay, so this might be show-boating on her part, but I call it the random cuteness of the day!

Waiting For a Miracle

As many of you know, Trinity is in the pediatric ICU at St. Luke's Regional Medical Center in Boise, Idaho. She's been having seizures but as yet there is no diagnosis aas to what the underlying problem might be. Autumn and I are learning a great deal and I am getting a crash course in ICU medicine. Trinity has been sedated since Monday morning about 2am Mountian Time. She is on a ventilator, so the sedative is to keep her from fighting all the tubes. One thing we have learned is that we don't have control of this situation. It's hard because I don't want my daughter to suffer. I don't want her to have permanent damage from this. I want my daughter back because I miss her terribly. But I have to let all of that go and trust that God has our best in mind. I have to because I can't do a single thing to help her right now. So I pray and cry a little and sing to my baby. Autumn is doing the same. We have been incredibly blessed to have support from all over the ...

The end of a good thing

Okay, I am a fan of breastfeeding. That sounded weird. I don't like it for me, but for my kids. Autumn worked very hard at it, with wonderful results for Teagan and Trinity both. She was so successful that we are just now, 9 months after weaning Teagan, running out of frozen stores of breast milk for his bottles. Now, we haven't been giving it to him exclusively. He has been on cow's milk ever since he was a year old. It's been mostly for night time bottles. Unfortunately now that's over too. Here's our memorial service for breast milk: Proud mommy...and she should be! Yep, he loves him some breast milk! And now, since that chapter is over and a new one is started, we'll talk about the grieving process. Poor little Teagan will likely be going through an extensive emotional adjustment. Let's see one scenario of how it might  go: The first reaction will be typical crying. He doesn't get what he wants, so he cries. Hey, don't we all? At th...

More on the kid...

I get bored pretty easy. I get tired of the same old thing. But I discovered something. I don't get tired of my wife or daughter. Do they get on my nerves sometimes? Sure, but I never get tired of them. We went to Boise last week (or was it the week before?) for follow-up appointments for Trinity. We were there for two days because Trinity was scheduled for a follow-up MRI and they won't see her at the neurologist's office the same day as the MRI. I can see why; she has to be put to sleep for the MRI because it takes over 45 minutes and she has to stay still. Trinity can't stay still for 45 seconds, much less 45 minutes! Here are some photos from the trip: Here's Miss Smiley-Bug waiting for her turn in the MRI machine. She was having fun crawling around and trying to pull on as many dangling cords as possible. She's so much fun to be around. She barely even cried when they put the IV in her arm. She did fight a little, just because she doesn't like being hel...
