It takes a village...

Trinity is fortunate to have many people in her life that love her very much. That is one thing I will always try and provide for Trinity: a loving community of people that she can rely upon. Kayley is one of the sweetest of those people. Kayley is a good friend that spends time with Trinity, teaching her all kinds of fun things. They have played dress up and baked cookies, just to name a couple. Here is an old picture of Kayley and Trinity with Santa (2009). Kayley picked out matching dresses for her and Trinity.

Kayley wrote a story for school, it was about Trinity. I have included an image of the original and the text typed out. I don't think I need to say much more, except, Thank you Kayley!

Trinity Esther


Trinity is such a miracle. The reason I am so thankful for her is because when she was maybe a year old or younger she was at the daycare center and she had a seasiour. She also stopped breathing. She was rushed to the emergency room and then flown to Portland. When she got a little better the doctors saw that half of her brain was damaged. She was also blind. But now she has restored all of her vision back! And is doing much better. Trinity is so important to me she is like family. Every birthday she is with us. On Thursdays we eat breakfast with her mom Autumn and Trinity. It’s very nice. Trinity is so special to me because she is a living breathing miracle. She is doing amazing now! She has a baby brother named Teagan. She does not talk much for a 2 year old but she talks a lot for Trinity…I am going to try and be a good role model for Trinity. And when she gets older I want to do tubing, trips to Boise water park and lots of fun stuff like that. On Sunday for her birthday gift we got her a yellow suitcase that has tons of dress up clothes. She is the sweetest little girl ever! And she is very well behaved (for a 2 year old) And while she was in the hospital her parents taught her sign language. She knew a lot. She is such a miracle and I am thankful for her. She is amazing. Words C-A-N-N-O-T explain this little girl. Now Autumn (her mom) and Aaron (her dad) and Teagan will be behind to make up for Trinity. Oh yah, and at church (Christian Church) she puts her hands up and sings! She is so funny. Also, did I mention that she was a beautiful Christian, living and breathing, little miracle? If not…she is!

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...

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...
