It’s been about 3 weeks now since we brought Trina home. So glad to have her home and yet the transition did test us. Many things changed for Trina that had been customary for us all in a hospital for a year … and so it seemed as though her little system just couldn’t handle it all initially … from her throwing up on the drive home … to us having to have her feeding tube replaced 2 times – to having difficulty with her system adjusting to the new feeding material and digesting it – the first 2 weeks was adjust, adjust, adjust. However, the good news is that HOME is HELPING her. For us, it will be a complete joy to have her cognitive again … but she has a new peace about her – more smiles, more movement and we can tell she knows she is HOME. For Steve and I – we realize we must re-teach her everything. She is like a 3 month old baby and she is trying – deep inside – she is in there, we trust this. We trust God to continue his miraculous healing. Getting home is just the first step. And, now we are doing literally anything and everything we can research or skills we learn from the physical therapists, etc. for progress. It is a 24/7 job but she is worth it. Life is worth it. My three older daughters have been awesome, too – they come to see Trina as often as they can and we have all become close in this tragedy. Thank you all for your prayers as they will always be needed. May all go well with your families and God Bless! Trina’s mom, Sandy
