Atlanta, numero uno

By -
Autumn and I just got back from Atlanta, in case you were wondering why there hasn't been much action on the blog lately. I know that I could blog from the road, but we were working and exploring Atlanta, not to mention a 3 hour time change that messes everything up! My mom and Harry came down to watch Trinity while we were gone, it's good for all of us to do these things. Mom was able to get her grandma time in and Autumn and I were able to get some her-and-me time. Nice! We did call to check in though; we miss her and like to know what she's been up to! One time Autumn was able to talk to Trinity on the phone and Trinity wouldn't give up the phone! It's a little awkward because Trinity doesn't talk much on the phone, she just likes to listen for now. It makes long coversations a little weird for the adult. Here's the view:

Our nephew Mark just graduated high school and so there was a party over at Autumn's folks' house to celebrate. We couldn't make it, but my mom brought Trinity over to help congratulate her cousin. Here she is talking to her mommy on the phone!


Meanwhile, we were touring the CNN headquarters, where Autumn saw her very favorite news hunk, Anderson Cooper!

Here's some jellyfush at the aquarium...

Here I am on the Coca-Cola couch from American Idol. I am sitting the same place Carrie Underwood sat at one time. At least that's what the attendant said. Notice the cool 3-d shades...

The World of Coca-Cola had a very cool tour that was complete with a 3-d movie. Actually it was 4-d since it rocked the chairs and sprayed us with water...Either way, here's Autumn looking much better in these things than I did.
More to come...

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...

Homeward Bound

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 ...
