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 ...
Sunday afternoon we landed in the Central Time Zone, having just been in Central European Time not that long before. We had just traveled for about 14 hours, but arrived only 8 hours after we started. It's a funny world that we live in. 10 days prior, we had traveled approximately 14 hours, arriving 21 hours after we started. Guess what else? I've already been through daylight savings. And in another week I'll experience it again. What the heck? Why is daylight savings different in Europe than in the United States? I recently heard that daylight savings was changed. Who gets to decide that? Who do they consult? But I digress. We just returned from a fantastic trip to Spain! If this is as far as you read, the main takeaway is that, if you like to travel, southern Spain (Andalusia, or Andalucia) should be on your shortlist of places to visit! For me, it's tied with Morocco as my favorite place to have traveled. The combination of culture and geography are just wonderful! ...
Once again, I am just amazed at the progress Trinity is making. Highlights for today include rolling over to her tummy, pulling her knees up under her, sitting up from a reclined position, moving her head side-to-side without crying and reading. Okay, she's not reading quite yet but at the pace she's going I won't be surprised if she's doing this by the end of the week! She had another MRI today to compare to the one she had last Monday and this showed much less brain swelling and no new changes. We're going to see the ophthamologist tomorrow and then we should be coming home. I think I'm finally feeling tired so I think I'll keep this update short in words and let the pictures speak for themselves. It's now been 11 days since Trinity was taken by ambulance to the ER in Baker. It seems like a lot longer than that. We are encouraged again and again by God's word and your support. God is good and we know that this is all part of His plan. Thank you ...
