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...

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! ...

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 ...
